At least 15 years living and growing up with 4-5 cats/dogs at a time, right now i have an old beagle/hound named Bailey that would make you think twice about her actual age, absolute sweetheart and very nice with other dogs. Along with her I also own a great Dane named Molly, she's more than a handful but very well trained and loves to play, friendly with others aswell. At the moment I also have 3 cats, 2 of which are pure breed rag doll cats, very mischievous but all play along very well. With this experience and experience helping family and friends pets I've decided to just make this a hobby on the side, im confident enough to be able to handle any necessities your dog may need. I work my day job 5am to 1pm Monday through Friday, occasionally Saturdays, but I will be free until 10pm every night.
