I DO NOT TAKE "DROP-INS" There must be a "meet and greet" between myself, the owner and the dog(s) prior to booking. Large, young dogs are too strong and rambunctious for me. A large senior dog would work though. (example: A young basset would be too strong, but I could handle a senior basset.) I own one large crate, but could care for more than one small dog from the same family if they can be crated together. If sitting at the pet's home, I could handle up to 3. Dogs who are trained to relieve themselves outside is a must! I prefer females but would consider a well-trained male dog. I have a flea allergy, so they must be free of those pests. I would want to know if the dog has any history of aggressive behavior toward humans and/or toward other dogs, as well as feeding, walking and sleeping schedules.

I've never met a dog that didn't like her tummy rubbed and her ears and rump scratched, and I'm an expert at all three! There is a park in my neighborhood where we can walk and, if your dog can be off-leash, play fetch with ball or Frisbee. There is land behind my home that can be used for the same purposes. If a leash is necessary, I'm happy to throw the ball in my fenced back yard. Bring her toys and I'll sit on the floor and play with her. Hide and seek is fun, too.
