When I was younger I walked the neighbors dogs all the time and was asked by one of my regulars, if I could stay the weekend and i think thats when i first got the idea. Spending the past 17 years in the military and being away from home more often than not, i saw the importance of having someone trustworthy that will love and treat you pets as their own. I enjoy getting to know all the different personalities they hold and especially when they are with other dogs. I recently lost my dog of 17 years. She was my best friend and although I have so much love to give, I am just not ready for another just yet. I am retired and currently work part-time at Starbucks. I also teach occasional yoga classes. I have about 4 days a week that I am free I have a fenced in but small yard. Access to military dog parks and love to take my own dog on at least 4 miles a day with occasional leashed hikes
