I have about 10+ years experience working with dogs of all ages. I currently have 2 dogs in my home, a Labrador named Berkeley and a Husky named Volt. They are very playful and have welcomed all of our friends dogs into the home with open paws. Berkeley tends to only care about toys but will engage in play when enticed :) Volt on the other hand loves all friends that come to visit, especially little dogs. (He plays very gently) Typically, I'm available any time in the morning throughout the day and into the evening. I'm very flexible with my schedule based on your needs. I'm home most of the time, only out for a few hours at a time running errands and such. Two days out of the week I volunteer at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium in Tacoma but during that time my husband is typically home for potty breaks. We have a fairly large yard for living so close to downtown Bremerton, it is fully fenced, however, part of the fencing is 4 feet and and the rest is 6 feet. As mentioned before, if I'm not home my husband Cory might be but I'm usually always home. I will take great care of your creature(s) while you are away!
