I've been around small and mid size dogs my whole life. I'll love yours like they are my own. I'm a flexible about working remotely/ half days, so I can be home as much as needed. I am particularly good with dogs who are getting a little older, and I am very comfortable giving medications and regulating treats, etc. We can go on walks as needed, but our fenced yard is where we normally hang out to "take care of business." My own small, older dog may try to play, but is very relaxed and cool with being a "beta." I have a toddler who loves dogs (her first word was "Doggie"), and my husband will also be around to help. We can't wait to meet your pup!
