I have loved and raised animals as an adult for 20+ years. As an adult, I have cared for my hoo-man kids, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, indoor rabbits, and chickens! I have also done long term dog fostering in my home for a few months. My home is cat and dog friendly with a built-in, gated, doggy-den under the stairwell (used as a night kennel and day napping area). I have a fenced one acre property and the back yard is entirely fenced with 6' wood privacy fencing. For over two years, we have rented our backyard on SniffSpot as a private dog park (while we and our animals stay inside during their 1-hour reservation). My home has great windows for squirrel and bird watching. We have a large home where doggy day care and boarding pets will also get the love and attention from my husband and our teenagers (no children age 12 or younger in the house). We have loved many pets over the years. Right now we only have one cat, who can be kept completely separated from your animals the entire time I board them. I do not work outside the home, so I have a flexible schedule at home allowing me to provide in-home pet sitting at my property, or to check on your fur-babies throughout the day. My teens and I enjoy volunteering with cats at our local shelters and we used to volunteer with horses (cleaning stalls, brushing, and cleaning their yard). During my childhood I lived and help care for several different dogs, cats, rats, birds, chickens, and hogs. I dog walked in elementary school for a neighbor. Then at age 18 I began overnight house alone and pet sitting for households with dogs and horses.
