I can't remember a time I did not have dogs and/or cats. I have had 2 or more dogs my entire life, as I can't image a day without them. I have also had several cats over the years. I am recently retired and I cannot think of anything better than spending my extra time with animals, and since I haven't won the lottery so I could buy acreage and start a rescue center, this is the next best thing! ha ha. I have always been the go-to person for advice, on care, and training my friend's and family's pets, as well as helping them find rescues that are the right fit. I currently have 1 Dachshund mix (Sophie) and a Labrador (Honey), who join me in 1 to 3 mile walks several times a week, as well as dog park trips (when safe). We are a multi-family household and we also have 2 small dogs and a cat we care for. I have trained many a puppy and have cared for many seniors over the years. I am patient and loving and will take care of your baby as if it were my own. I retired from a field working with developmentally disabled adults, which allowed me to obtain even more patience and understanding. I am very active and will enjoy playing with your pet or just chilling with them if that is what they need.
