I have had pets since I was like 4 and started caring for them by 7-8 because I received 2 Labrador puppies for Christmas. Have had 4 rescues (1 cat & 3 dogs), a German Shepherd mix, a pure bred Mountain Cur and I currently have a purebred Rhodesian Ridgeback. Out of all the dogs I have had a rescue dog I named Bandit, he was all white with big black circles around his eyes, and Rocko my Ridgeback I have now have been the 2 that I became very close and bounded with. Rocko is very mild mannered and has never once been aggressive toward other animals including cats. I have an invisible fence and can use my collars on the dogs I look after. If you would rather them be led by a lead thats fine too. I also have 1 large and 1 small crate and an unfinished area in my basement if I need to put them in if I have to run an errand. I have a 4 year old disabled daughter who has cerebral palsy. I know she would love seeing other dogs and cats roaming around the house :) I have a large shower that I can bathe your pet if you want. I buy high quality dog food but changing a dogs food suddenly without mixing can cause them to have an upset stomach that leads to many bowel movements. I leave it up to you if you want to bring the food you give to your pet or not. afternoon/evening. I can pet care from Sunday evening to Friday morning I have a very clean home with a large yard that has an invisible fence. I plan to get more collars of different sizes. I also have 2 crates. 1 extra large and 1 medium sized and an unfinished area of basement that has a large doggy door. I have a large shower that I can bathe your pet since it is too cold out. My 85lb dog and I shower together in which gives you an idea of the size of it. I bathe my dog like every 3-4 weeks so if your pet is pungent I will probably bathe it but I would get your permission first. I have the perfect setup and lifelong knowledge to care for your animal.
