I love having dogs around me, and have owned dogs most of my life. All my dogs have lived long and happy lives. We get outside and get our exercise, we hang out, it's just good to have them around. I'm not fancy and fussy. I am available most days of the week to assist with your dog care needs. I no longer have a dog, but am a frequent host to my grand dog, Holden, a bloodhound/great dane mix. He's a big old love bug, and we get along fine. Since I do live in a condominium and own a cat, I am unable to host dogs who are yappy or aggressive in any way, but I am happy to visit my noisier friends in their own homes.
