Teacher and dog-lover looking to help you feel better about being away from your loved one. I've been a dog owner since I was old enough to buy my own and now dog-sit for my neighbors and my dentist. I have worked with children from 5-18 years old in the past 22 years as a public educator. Now that my children are out of the house, I need more dogs to love. I've owned a Great Dane (on the big side) and now have a shih-tzu (on the small side). I've had a trained k-9 (German Shepherd) in the past. I'm looking for the opportunity to love on some dogs, get some more exercise and enjoy the outdoors. I'm available before school (6-7 AM) and after school (4-10PM) during the week and anytime on the weekends.
