I've been a pet owner my entire life. I've had dogs of varying breeds and sizes (2 Vizslas, Dachshund, 3 Yorkies, Hound mix, Wire Fox Terrier) and have had cats my entire life. (The past 3 years has been my first time without a cat!) I currently have two dogs of my own, a hound named Finn and a wire fox terrier named Zelda. I have a fenced in yard and come home every day for 1 hour on my lunch break, so the dogs would never be left without a potty and exercise break for more than 4 hours at a time. I always spend a lot of time in the backyard and have lots of toys to keep the pets exercised and happy even on rainy days! I have experience with dogs of all ages, including puppies and can also help or comply with basic obedience training, medication dispensing, etc. if needed.
