I have always had dogs growing up and when my kids were little. Raised German Shepherds, a Corgi, and a few mixed breeds. I have been house sitting for dogs the last 5 years for neighbors, friends and family, a few cats as well. I also helped leash train some puppies. I have a small fenced in area if needed, but will take your pet out on a leash. I do have a good size yard. Can do daily walks as well.
