I've never been without dogs in my life. I have several years of Vet assistant experience combined with petsitting professionally for many years and I do not discriminate breeds, or species for that matter. I have cared for puppies and seniors, post-op dogs, diabetics, blind, deaf, incontinent, etc. I'm very conscientious of allergies, different energy levels, and any other special needs. I understand that some dogs act very differently when their routines or environments change and I'm happy to provide any specialized care. As for my home, the fenced in yard is great for dogs who like to run laps and then flop on the porch. My dog loves having another dog to share toys with, and we have plenty of toys to share. Water is always available and I can either free-feed or offer designated meal times.
