Hello! I've owned pets my entire life, and animals of all kinds have a soft spot in my heart. I currently have an 8 year old toy poodle named Lily, and 2 cats, Bodhi & Sammi. The cats do their own thing and are fine jumping high to reduce stress. I've kept dogs for my parents, for my friends, and for my boss. :) I always hated leaving my dogs when I had to be away and couldn't bring them. They are emotional and grieve, they get scared and lonely, and I want to help you and your dog make that separation time as easy as possible. Not only will you be able to relax while you are away knowing your furry family member is safe and comfortable, but they will be kept busy playing and being outside with me on days that that is possible. If it's rainy or too cold, they will still do their business outside but will be brought back in for cuddles. I am currently in between jobs and looking into pursuing a full-time career helping animals. Until that gets rolling, I have lots of free time to spend with your fuzzy baby.
