I am very attentive to all dogs that stay with me. I like to learn their personality and care style. I respect the owners wishes in regards to their dog ( food,walks,playtime) Many dogs are lap lovers and I am too. I have had dogs since I was a little girl and feel very comfortable around them. Any special instructions are always welcomed, I want the dog to be comfortable and safe in my environment. I have a masters in special education and use some of that background with dogs. I am retired so free to attend fully to your dog. I enjoy being around dogs and laugh quite a bit at each of their own traits and personality. My home is dog proof so no harm comes to the dog.
