I have had pets my entire life. Starting at ten I began reading books about dog care and training so I could train and pet sit family pets. I am very passionate about animals, and I have passed this on to my daughter and bonus sons! Please feel free to ask me anything you'd like. My personal experience with animals has been a lifetime, but over the years I have researched and studied proper ways to care for, train, and love them to the fullest. I am currently a stay at home mom, and have full availability during the week (except the occasional appointment here or there). Weekends can be a little hit or miss depending on whether or not we have my bonus sons, but please feel free to check with me, as some weekends will be fully available! We have two very loving dogs who are very excited to meet new friends and are extremely good with other dogs. They also behave well with cats, but we do have a cat door that leads into our mud room, as well as a tall cat tree so they have plenty of spaces to relax. If you have a dog that doesn't do well with cats, we do have plenty of ways for our own cats to stay away (they tend to do this anyway if we have company of any sort). We have a pretty large fenced in yard. I never leave my dogs outside unsupervised. I make sure they are outside for plenty of play and exercise. We play fetch often, and my 2 year old daughter loves to run around outside with the dogs.
