I have always owned dogs and have cared for neighbor's dogs for many years. I'm a lover of all animals, but dogs hold a special place in my heart. I'm fit and active and love long walks. An exercised dog is a happy dog! Dogs are part of the family and are treated as such. Fortunately I live in a dog friendly neighborhood with lots of private walking and dog friends available for play. We love to go to the dog parks also! I have also had experience in administering medications as well. My dog Jack is 5 years old and very playful, however, he knows his boundaries, especially with older dogs. My home is very comfortable and dogs are allowed on the furniture and bed.
