I was born into a home with a well educated German Shepherd. My father trained mainly Pit-bulls and Shepherds. My grandparents raised and bred Keeshons and Golden Labs during much of my lifetime. I have always had a special interest and investment in raising and training canines! Not just big dogs but little ones too. My mother worked with a rescue shelter that also certified and 'dispatched' therapy animals. I have certainly learned a lot about taking care of pets. I also have the patience, heart, and experience to provide excellent care for some of the most special of needy dogs. I have one cat, her name is Lucy! If we have a pooch over for the night she stays with her sister Luna, who lives right next door. Please, if your pet requires any medication or has any special needs, please outline those needs specifically with a written note and verbal communication upon arrival. I am completely available to you and your pets full-time untill further notice! late-nights, or early mornings, offer me courtesy and I'll be the flexibility! I live in an apartment, non-smoking, we have a small parking lot out front and a unfenced yard in the back. I have two friendly neighboors who both have cats and also love furry animals, the kitties stay inside and are well mannered. Neither of them are very 'sharp and pointy.' I drive a hatchback and can transport dogs up to a large size who are well car-broken. I enjoy strolling through washington park and hanging out at the dog park on the North end of town (Stuart park.) your pet and I will not go anywhere together, (other than my home and neighboorhood,) without your express permission.
