I am retired and widowed. No kids or grandkids. Doggies are my friends and family. I’m used to being around dogs. Have had them in my family since I was a kid. If your pet is friendly and gets along with my Goldendoodle we’ll make a good match. I have a fenced back and front yard. Both areas are small, but I can watch where they are better. Picking up dog poop is easier in a confined area too. I not only love dogs I like the idea of getting money for watching them! I can stay home and have my best buddies visit me. I have a brick front yard fenced with gates and back yard is brick and gravel with a gate. We like chasing balls.
