I've been rescuing dogs since college, raise them well. Purchased a house so that we could have a bigger yard for our dogs. We treat them like family! We also have rescued cats over the years. We have some of each currently, and our (human) children love to play with the cats and dogs. I'll treat your pets at well as I treat mine, and I understand how the pets need to connect with the pet-sitter. I have cared for several friends' pets when they're out of town, as well as my own menagerie. I am available before and after work on weekdays, willing to come twice in the evenings (early and late) as needed. I am also open on weekends, and would love to take dogs for longer trips to the park or long walks around the neighborhood for extra outside time on weekends.
