I have a is a 14 year old chihuahua which I've had since birth, a 4 year old boxer, two cats and 4 turtles, so I have a little experience in everything. I'm comfortable with administering medicine or with puppies still in training. I have no children and pets are not alone for more than 2-3 hours at a time. I'm available almost everyday of the year, I work 12-5 and my husband 7-3, so there are little hours with no one home. I'm flexible with long or short term schedule that works for you. I live in a fenced townhouse, my husband 2 dogs and 2 cats. All my pets very friendly and get along with pretty much any animal and love to play with each other all day. My senior chi loves to cuddle and sleep for those who need companionship all day. My husband and I both love animals and would have more if we could, so you can be sure your baby will be loved and spoiled while you're away! We can walk any pets that can use a leash.
