I have been around dogs my entire life. My parents had horses, dogs, cats. I have also watched my friends and families animals while they were out. I currently don't have an animal myself, but am planning on getting a dog. I am just in the process of finding the right one. I love animals, and am very trustworthy. I have many references if needed. The animals I care for; health, well being, and safety is of the utmost importance to me. There is a dog area in my complex where I can take the dogs to release some energy. Im not to particular about dogs on the couch and things like that. I am open to doing things the way you do in your own home. If you have any questions or any other concerns feel free to contact me and ask. Thanks!
