I'm home all the time, and an avid animal lover. I have plenty of experience with dogs, and have sat/fostered a few small dogs. I have a decent yard to walk dogs around, but it's not fenced. I allow pets on my bed, but not on any other furniture. I was in a veterianary assistant lab for two years, and have hands on experience walking and handling various sized dogs. I treat every animal as if they were my own. Currently I have one medium sized dog, and four cats. The dog is dog friendly, and has gotten along with all the other dogs that I have taken care of in the past, the cats are more wary of dogs and tend to hide away.
