I have had dogs since I was a Child. I worked for Over 10 years as a professional Dog Groomer. I have worked in Boarding Kennels and I worked as a receptionist at a Vet's office in New York. I have 3 Dogs(1 colie & 2 Shelties) and 1 Cat. 2 of the dogs have earned obedience titles and I am training the third, who is still young. I love all animals and love working with them. I am an older mature women who enjoys walking with dogs. I work full time so I am only available on Weekends. My yard is Not huge but adequate for keeping one or two extra small to medium dogs in my house. Ideally anyone staying with me should be no more then 30 pounds
