Bigger dogs welcome!

Pet care experience

I've been caring for dogs and cats of many breeds and ages my whole life. Currently I live with one cat who is friendly towards other animals. Presently, I work Monday-Friday 6am - 3pm from home, go into the office one day a week for about 6 hours. I am available to do drop in visits/walks as well. I'm used to hiking several miles with dogs so longer walks would not be a problem for me as well as shorter ones. Any special instructions can be accommodated as they arise. About my yard The front yard is open, backyard is fenced in on two sides and open to a small wooded space one side. My experience administering medication Any pills or such are fine. Anything else I might be able to accommodate with advanced notice.

Always timely and he takes my dog for a nice long walk so he can get his energy out while I’m away.
