I am a mom, wife, teacher, and true dog lover. In the summers, over holiday breaks, and weekends I am home with my 4 and 6 year old daughters all day. They love dogs as well. During the school year, the dogs are not home alone more than four hours at a time as my husband comes home for lunch every day. In our home we view dogs as furry kids. Dogs have individual personalities and we cherish each dog as an individual. We have one dog who is very dog friendly and loves making new friends. Dogs have always been a part of my life so I am used to the various life stages, as well as common medical issues associated with many dogs. I would love to have the opportunity to care for your dog (s) as a dog-pack member. Our home is smoke free, dogs are allowed on furniture (after I lay a blanket down), and we will make sure your sweet baby has plenty of playtime and cuddles. I am very familiar with dogs that have anxiety as my dog (who has passed) was a rescue that had been beaten for years. I got her as a 4 year old and built a strong relationship.
