I have been a dog lover since I was a kid. I have been a dog sitter for many years for friends and family for a variety of breeds. I own my own home and we have a large fenced in back yard. I currently own two dogs, a male Boxer mix named Apollo and a Boxer girl named Brasil. I have volunteered with MN Boxer Rescue and Midwest Animal Rescue Services. I have fostered dogs in my home and I am very comfortable and skilled in training and taking care of dogs. All dogs are treated like humans in my home because to me they all are. The bed, sofas, carpets and chairs are all on limits haha. I love all dogs and look forward to meeting yours! I work from home so I am not usually gone more than 4 hours at a time. Your dog will get plenty of attention and play time. I have a 6 foot vinyl fenced in yard so the dogs cannot get out. I allow dogs to sleep in my bed and be on the furniture and on dog beds as long as it is OK with the owner. We do have an outdoor pool so if jumping in the water is an issue for your dog we are probably not a good fit. If I am not home the dog will need to be crated.
