I've been around dogs since I was young. I was always the kid that would play with the dogs instead of the other children. When I was 13 we got a Westie called Millie and she was around until I left home at age 18. I also owned horses during my teenage years. In my 20's I worked at a summer camp as the Ranch director, taking care of and managing staff on a farm of 14 horses, pigs, alpacas, sheep, rabbits, and chicks. For the past few years, my husband and I have been desperate to have our own dog but have yet to bite the bullet and get one. So for now, I'd love to take care of yours! We regularly take care of my sister-in-laws two little black dogs, both rescues and a mix. We love our time with them and are always offering to watch friend's dogs. We have a 2 year old son, Henry, who LOVES dogs. If your dog comes to our home, he will be very happy and give it lots of love! He has been around my sister in laws dogs since he was a baby and one of them is a little snappy so he knows to be careful around them. We would definitely want you to come to our home before we book so that your dog and Henry can meet and we can make sure they are safe with each other.
