I'm a 32 year old self-employeed dog lover who has the fortune of working flexible hours from home. My husband also works from home and therefore adds an additional set of eyes and hands for pets 24/7. We're very active, and always eager to take our pooches to the park for a walk or to the dog park to play. We own two 10 lb dogs - 9 and 6 years old. I have previously owned a Great Dane who lived for 10 years, and our family Dachshund lived to 17. I am very cautious in the care of my own and other animals, and am therefore selective in the combinations of pets I would be willing to care for at one time. Safety always comes first.
