I'd like to invite your dog (or dogs) to spend Christmas with me! My 25 years as a social worker taught me to individualize everything I do according to the needs of the client. Now my client will be your dog! I'm responsible, active, and loving. I care for dogs and cats of all ages. I cared for an elderly cat who insisted I sit right beside her when she ate. One day I tried to eat my breakfast while she ate hers but she refused to eat until I stopped eating. I am patient and kind and respectful. I can give you additional references when we meet. Note: If your dog needs to sleep in the same room or even the same bed as me, I can do that but ONLY if your dog won't keep me awake by snoring or other nighttime noises. I need to get my sleep, too!
