I have owned very large dogs but due to my home being on the small size, I currently own a 13# dog. I am retired and have an open schedule for flexibility and time to spend taking care of your loved family member. My yard is fenced with artificial lawn so as to prevent digging. I realize how important it is to have someone who is willing to listen to your request in regards to feeding and caring for your pet as Well as providing safety and companionship. My pet is extremely important to me so I do have understanding of how much yours mean to you and will provide this in order to build a bonding relationship which will last for years if need be.
