Just Like Home-Quiet Back Yard

Pet care experience

*Your rules will be followed when I watch your pet* Not afraid to get slobbered on & dirty while playing. I allow a dog to be a dog & explore the world at their own pace & comfort level while attempting to engage them in active play. Home with 4 dogs and sometimes a foster dog. One level house with multiple rooms that can be closed to allow their own space if needed. Open down stairs basement with almost an acre of, almost flat, quiet land. Back yard is fenced with 6 ft vinyl fencing. Plenty of foliage for your dog to sniff, pee on & investigate. I worked healthcare for 12 years, degree in paralegal studies, previously employed by emergency vet hospital. I used to foster post-operation dogs for a dog rescue out of ny, help in transport & volunteer doing home visits for possible adopters/fosters. My grandfather had almost 30 dogs along with various other animals, there hasn't been a moment in my life I wasn't living along side a dog. I studied pet nutrition in my free time for 3 years & developed all-natural frozen dessert Dog Treats & participate in a plethora of dog events throughout the year. Just trying to give dogs the best live possible, no matter how short it may be.
