Dogs are important family members and should always be treated with care, kindness, and affection. Much like children they require attendance to their physical needs, activities that nurture their bodies and grow knowledge, affection, and love. I am a highly reliable individual. I have had dogs throughout my life and they have all been healthy, happy dogs that have lived long lives and given me their unconditional love and companionship. Because I am retired I have an open schedule and can provide a variety of services. I am extremely trustworthy. In my previous job I had an extensive background check and was deputized. Therefore care that.is given in someone's home will be safe and secure. I think quickly to emergency situations and am well-reasoned with proper decision-making skills.
