I can't imagine life without our dogs---they are family! We have a puppy and a senior dog in our home, so I have experience with dogs of all ages. As someone who has used Rover over the years, I appreciate the importance of leaving my dogs in a safe, loving environment so that we can enjoy our time away. I'd like to provide that experience for you! I am a retired teacher, and am home much of the time. This allows me to devote time to your pet, whether it's a puppy who needs to work on potty training, a dog who needs lots of playtime, or an anxious dog who needs extra love and cuddles. I'm here for it all with love and patience! We have a fenced backyard, with plenty of room for your dog to run, play, and relax in the sunshine! We also take walks around the neighborhood and play with toys, so we can provide your pet with whatever level of activity they require.
