I am a dog person and have had dogs most of my live. I had 1 or 2 dogs at a time as a kid growing up in St. Louis, including a beagle, shetland sheepdogs & a maltese poodle. I took Cleo, the maltese poodle, with me to college & graduate school in Philadelphia and then to live in New York, where I started my career. After moving back to St. Louis,, we got a dog once the kids were old enough to help care for the dog. Unfortunately, Arnie, a maltese poodle, died of cancer late 2014 at the age of 10. Our next dog, Sadie, a sheltie mix, lived here from 2016-18 then moved to LA to live with 2 of my daughters. I now have 1 dogs living with me, Sammy, a Sheltie. I choose to welcome other dogs into our home as a dog sitter, and have watched many different breeds and all sizes since then. I have a very dog friendly home, including a fenced yard. I also have many things needed for a dog, including a bed, bowls, treats, toys, leash, gate and a crate, if your dog needs it. I enjoy playing with the dogs inside and in the fenced back yard. I work nearby home so I can drop by during the day to be with your dog. I own a home improvement company so I have flexibility with my work schedule to be able to work from home or stop home during the day I have a large fenced yard for the dogs to roam & run plus a dog for your dog to pal around with. The dogs have access in the common areas of the house when I am home and are separated by a gate in the kitchen area when no one is home. My work as an entrepreneur in the home improvement industry provides flexibility for me to work from home or be home parts of the work day. I have a fenced back yard for the dogs to run and play and spend time safely outside. I monitor them while they eat. I keep different dog families separated by a gate when I’m not home.
