As a kid my family raised and bred dachshunds. Owned dachshunds as an adult also have a rescue dog now and 2 cats. My mother lives with me and is a huge animal lover too. She is home all of the time. I also have experience taking care of dogs at the owners home, and it has always been a pleasure with no problems. I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule. Also my mother is always home. We take my dog “Dino” for walks everyday plus we have a completely fenced in yard that has plenty of room to play. We have a doggie door that dogs have easily adapted to. I have two spoiled cats (Bella & Muffin) and a small dog named Dino and he loves everyone. We have a doggy door so your pets can come in and out whenever they want to. The cats have been around dogs a lot and are fine, also their front paws have been declawed.
