Pet care experience

Loved& cared for dogs my whole life

I can't really think of a time I didn't have a dog, I've learned how to potty train puppies since I was little. Love dogs of all shapes and sizes. Know how to bowl and crate train, as well as all basic commands and care. We have a great shaded and fenced back yard with fresh water and a cool house with dog beds and crates. I've had lots of challenging dogs, and lots of sweet hearts. The two I have now are very good with other dogs, and I have two well behaved kids 2-4 that can be kept separate from the dogs if needed, as we have crates and a yard and multiple rooms (as well as experience in that).

Schedule

Recently got laid off from my blue collar job, so I have lots of free time on my hands rn. I usually let the dogs out as needed throughout the day as they want, or as the heat allows.
