I've taken care of dogs for many decades and have loved all animals for my whole life. As a new mom 30 years ago, we welcomed 2 dogs into our family (of which I was the primary caregiver). Since then, I have always needed the company animals in my life. From training new puppies, to mixing households (and species), to learning how to adjust for behavioral issues, I've done it all! I'm newly retired and looking for ways to help out, stay active, and earn some spending money. I am newly retired so my schedule is very flexible. I am available most days for either drop-in visits to feed and play with dogs or cats, or to take them on walks. Personally I have a fenced in yard for my 2 big dogs and we go on daily walks. For drop-in visits, I am comfortable crating your dog, letting them out in a fenced in yard, or playing with dogs and cats inside the house. I can also take dogs on leashed walks, short or long, around neighborhoods or on nearby trails.
