I live in a big house in a very nice Solana Beach neighborhood. I am almost always at home. Note 1: I will take dogs up to 25#. You could say--up to a Medium/Small. I can walk your dog around my suburban neighborhood, and I have lots of exercise opportunities available right here in my home. If you walk through my front door and walk 40 feet, you will travel over a wood floor and arrive at the back door. I like to use this area for playing fetch (see pic). The dog doesn't get dirty--and they have so much fun sliding around on the floor and rugs. I like to sit on my patio, and this is a great time for your pup to check out its new surroundings while I keep a close eye on it. On a hot summer day, your pup will spend time in my air conditioned bedroom. We can play with toys. This usually ends with them snoring away while I'm working on my arts and crafts. My Housemate/best friend, Michael, and I are both volunteers at Rancho Coastal Humane Society. I am a certified dog companion and level one dog handler. Michael volunteers with the cats--yet, whenever I have a dog here at the house, he can't resist making friends with it. Note 2: I am very old school. I don't have a smart phone. I don't text. I only have email and a regular phone with voice mail. If you need an immediate reply, please phone me. Elizabeth Dog Lover
