I've had pets of all kinds my entire life. I know how to care for birds, reptiles, cats and dogs. I have basic dog training skills, from attending my own dogs training classes, over the years. I live on a quiet, wooded dead end street with a dog loving neighborhood. I live with my husband and currently care for my toddler niece who loves animals and goes to daycare during the day. My house is a small 1 level ranch, with large front, sides and huge fenced backyard. Dogs can play and exercise like our own dog. I offer basic dog training ex. Sit, stay, leave it, lay down. I have 2 cats, and 1 small dog (mini poodle.) While in my care, your precious companion will have free roam around my house like my own pets. There's constant access to water and food, unless your dog needs limited portions. (Which can be accommodated.)
