I have great love for animals. I wish I could take care of all the animals that people hurt or just give up on. I have a huge heart. My family loves animals also. It’s down to me and my hubby, but, my adult children do come home to visit. We have 3 cats which are older but they are definite Queen's of their home. They have been around dogs and will usually hide when new ones come over to visit. You should not have any worries boarding your pet in my home or allowing me to come to your home. Spending time with your animal while you are away would be an honor! I treat my animals like family! I will love your animals as if they were my own.
