Growing up, I always had a "family" dog, but she was really my dog. A dog's ability for unconditional love is a beautiful thing; something to learn from and treasure. I hope to provide your dog with the sense of being loved and valued for their unique traits and personality. I will bring Emmie with me for extra companionship with your dog as long as you feel safe. I have experience taking care of my neighbor's dogs for several years, including a senior dog. I've volunteered at a shelter, mostly taking dogs on walks to get them out of their cages for a while, as well as cleaning the cages. I live about 5 minutes away from Danny Jackson dog park, which has a very large area for running around, along with a pool for the aquatically inclined pup. I will always supervise dogs at the dog park and when outside, even in a fenced yard. I would love to take care of your cat as well. My schedule is very flexible.
