Life long lover and owner of dogs. When my 2, 15 year old dogs passed away a number of years ago I decided I'd rather love on other people's dogs for awhile. I'm a mom with a lot of flexibility and home time. My children are kind and loving to all animals. The cat is ambivalent. I have a fenced yard but I love to walk (13k steps a day!). In addition to dogs, I am comfortable and experienced with all types of critters - cats, birds, snakes & lizards. One of the best compliments I ever received from one of my dog sitting clients was, "I'm convinced that my dog loves you more than he loves me! And I think my kids probably want to move in with you too"
