We love all animals and appreciate their intelligence and respect their feelings. We have had dogs and/or cats always. We have also had goats, pot bellied pigs, chickens, miniature donkeys and fish. We love spending time with animals and attending to their needs. Walks at parks or in the forest or around the neighborhood are a regular part of our day. We work at home mostly and have a very flexible schedule which allows for many walks and play time. We are currently staying with family or traveling as we ease into retirement. We provide a safe calm environment in your home and keep normal routines. We will be bringing at least one of our two dogs with us and they are well adjusted to changing environments and meeting new animal friends. Housesitting is part of our travel strategy. I also have done some dog training and animals are comfortable around us.
