I have a lifetime of experience with dogs. Growing up we raised and bred show Keshonds, Alaskan Malamutes and Siberian Huskies. I prefer not to crate any pet and will only do so if you are training and it is at your request. I have a large property to walk, a small dog park on property and a beautiful beach to stroll. I have a 5 yr old chocolate lab mix, an 80lb baby! He loves dogs and children and often forgets that he is a dog. I am a stay at home housewife which allows me a lot of flexibility to accommodate your schedule. I have recently found myself in need of a sitter and was beyond stressed with the lack of options and the high cost involved and would very much enjoy easing that burden for another pet parent.
