I am 56 years old. I've been a pet owner for over 30 years. I have volunteered with Concerned Citizens for Animals in South Carolina in the past. I have done rescues for many years. I take care of several friends dogs & cats at their homes. I have house sat with owners dog in the past. I currently have 2 rescue dogs that I literally took off the streets. I am home part time. I work 3 days a week. I do not have children. I do not smoke. My deck has a ramp that helps older dogs that have a hard time with steps. I have a large privacy fenced back yard. Mine love staying out playing and barking at squirrels...weather permitting. On rainy or cold days they usually prefer to stay inside except for potty breaks. I do bring them in around dark and then they get potty breaks as needed including one right before bed time. I can administer medications if needed. I currently have 2 dogs and 4 cats. I allow dogs on the furniture and the bed including my own dogs. You can bring their beds. I have several rooms separated by doors if your dog needs a quite place. You will also need to provide food and treats for your dog. Your dog(s) will be treated the same as my own. (They are spoiled) If I house sit at your home at night I will need to come home during part of the day to care for my pets. All guests must be up to date on ALL vaccinations. Written proof required. I am looking forward to the opportunity to care for your fur babies.
