My husband describes me as the most patient person he has ever known, especially when it comes to animals and children. Our daughter is 12 years old and loves animals as much as we do. Pets need affection and attention, which I give happily. Additionally, my dogs are always excited to be around people and view all new dogs as friends they haven’t met yet. A bit about my pups: Clover is a 7 year old, retired service dog who is extremely well behaved, playful, and loving. Jax is seven months old, full of energy, extremely playful, and loving. They share toys and treats and snuggle up together when they are sleepy. I call Clover the wise old dog and Jax the eager, sometimes too enthusiastic, student. They truly are good boys. Jax LOVES Clover, and Clover loves Jax (capitals indicate level of overt enthusiasm, lol). Dog boarding: As a life long dog owner I know and appreciate the value of dogs having a safe and loving environment when their people have to travel. I understand dogs that are afraid of storms as well as dogs who are more curious than is good for them. Keeping dogs safe and healthy is my primary concern. I have over five acres of land for dogs to play, live in a rural area surrounded by farms, and my home is dog friendly. Dog walking / drop in pet visits: All furry and feathered friends need attention but people have to work or just travel for the day. I appreciate that animals need a schedule and I will stick to it. I own dogs, but I love cats, rabbits, birds, chickens and just about every other kind of pet / animal. No snakes or lizards please. My sister’s cat was diabetic and needed insulin shots, which required a strict schedule, so I am very familiar with regimens relating to medical needs as well. Animals with special needs such as medications, hip issues that limit mobility, or whatever else are safe in my care. I’m very familiar with various medical issues and happy to keep your pet comfortable, happy, fed, exercised, and safe. I look forward to hearing from you.
