Dogs have been part of my life since I was a child. I prefer dogs to people. I have also had several cats. I've taken care of other people's cats and dogs, including puppies. Unfortunately, I can not accommodate puppies because my nephew is too young. I have experience with my own, past senior dogs and currently have a dog/child/cat friendly Labrador. Also there is a dog/child/cat friendly family Golden Retreiver here. We have a large yard with three separate fenced areas and two separate living areas to accommodate dogs. For any services here, your dog needs to be safe around cats, but we can accommodate dogs which are not good with children or other dogs for daytime services. I can only host dogs overnight that are friendly with other friendly dogs. I can do pet sitting at your house overnight if I can bring my very friendly Labrador along, although I may make exceptions if you ask. The house is near a park and wooded nature trail. I am a hiker and would love to take your dog on walks in the woods of the park. I love playing with dogs, too, so I can keep up with dogs who like toys all day. I'm offering dog services because I want to do what I love instead of work that is unsatisfying.
