I am part of a loving family that is extremely passionate about dogs. I have cared for up to 5 animals at once (4 dogs and 1 cat), for weeks at a time. My availability works perfectly with dog parents who have to go to work during the day and I have worked with strict feeding and walking schedules. I am willing to work with dogs of all sizes, including puppies that need extra attention. I allow animals on my furniture and don’t mind dogs that shed. I currently own one dog, a small Australian Shepherd mix, that loves to make new friends. I got him when he was just 5 weeks old and spent the first few months of his life living in an apartment where training was difficult, but overall successful.
