I am now retired and I am home most of the time. I love all types of animals and do enjoy them. I have a fenced in yard for the dogs that I sit for, they can run and play in the yard or come inside when they are ready.. I have a 5 year old Jack Russell that is very playful, she loves to play in the yard and run after any bird that comes in the yard (never getting close enough to catch anything). I like to play in the yard with her throwing things for her to go after and attempt to bring back to me. I would like to care for small to medium dogs, some of the larger dogs are too much for me.
