I have raised 14 dogs from puppies until life's end both rescues and pure breeds. Currently I have two happy and healthy female labs. My two girls are very well adjusted and like to run and play with visitors . I have on many occasions kept my relatives and friends dogs while they vacationed or traveled for business. Both house visits and staying in my home for up to a week. I can help you with your dog any day, any time with a day or two's notice. I pride myself on promptness and reliability. I am retired from thirty years as a retail manager and supervisor so I am a very good communicator with people and the canine persuasion. I am in excellent health and have no problem keeping up with my labs so I know I can do what is needed to care for your dog in your absence.
