In my 29 years there has been one constant, a love and understanding for all animals, especially dogs. In my care, your dog will have access to my fenced in backyard with locked gate. I also have a large front yard for play time and walks around my quaint nieghborhood. They will be free to roam around my home. I do not have a demanding job, so they will never be alone more than 2 hours at a time. They will be let out regulary to do doggy business. I have cared for almost all breeds from German Shepherds to Chihuahuas. I have cared for puppies, seniors and even cancer patients. I have two small well behaved dogs who help me, they are socializing experts! So when you must go away, let your dogs come over and play!!
