I've always had a dog in my house, and I love them. I know what they need and how to take care of them. I have experience with low maintenance dogs who basically take care of themselves and with very high maintenance dogs that have a strict food and walk schedule so I am able to handle both equally well. If your dog has had an abusive past and has particular needs because of it, please let me know. I want them to feel as safe as possible. I would never dream of harming an animal, so your baby/babies will be safe with me always.
