Nobody loves dogs more than I do! I take special care in making sure the pets who are with me get lots of hugs. They can sit on my lap, sleep on my bed, get unlimited love, and go out in the back yard or on walks anytime. I've owned 3 rescue-dogs in my life and loved them dearly. For the last several years, I've taken care of many friends' dogs. I'm currently not working, and so am available anytime, weekdays or weekends. Pet care fits very easily into my routine. I can spend time walking pets in my neighborhood or along some of the many local hiking paths. Safety is my top priority. I have my own home in a wonderful neighborhood, and a large, completely fenced-in back yard. I am happy to brush a dog's coat and/or give medication. I make every effort to create a loving bond and sense of trust with any pet coming into my home.
