Hello!! I have been caring for all kinds of animals since growing up on a small farm as a child. We always had many different farm animals and lots of cats and dogs. As an adult I have always had at least a cat, and currently have 3 dogs and 4 cats...basically a small zoo hahaha. I am used to dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Currently, I have a 9 year old German Shepherd that weighs 120 pounds...he's a very gentle giant that we have had since he was a pup. He has bad knees(has had multiple surgeries) so I'm used to caring for his special needs and giving daily meds. We also have a 7.5 year old German Shepherd. She weighs 85 pounds and is a rescue with extreme anxiety. We call her our backyard/house dog only. It is where she is most comfortable so that's where she stays to fit her needs!! And last but not least, we rescued our baby girl almost a year ago. She is likely a lab mix and around 50 pounds/ 1.5 years old. She needs lots and lots of exercise and attention!! I am very familiar with puppies and the extra needs they require. I've also cared for really senior dogs as we lost our Lab boy of 14 years to cancer not long ago. I decided to look into doing this as we are always looking for someone reliable to help us out when we need to leave our animals. I realize they are not just part of your family...they are family and it's hard to leave them and be comfortable with it. I would love to meet you and your pets before we set up to determine that everyone is comfortable and compatible and to make your leaving them with me stress-free! I look forward to hearing from you!
