I have had hound dogs my whole life, cats for most of my life, and other critters including turtles, guinea pigs, lizards and hamsters. I will care for yours as if they were my own. I am always pet sitting for friends and neighbors. I enjoy it and love taking pups for walks and play time. I take the care of a pet very seriously, as they are furbabies that are part of the family and I want the family to feel safe and happy knowing their pet is in good hands. I currently work full-time on a typical 9-5 day, but I have a flexible schedule and free time to devote to the need. I can do overnights, before and after work visits and weekend pet care. I have a secluded yard in a quiet neighborhood. I also have a large outside kennel, but prefer to be outside with your dog walking them or sitting with them on a tie out system that I have used with my dogs for over 15 years. I own my home. My dogs have passed away from old age and I do not have one at the moment. Someday, when the time is right, I will have another couple of rescue dogs. I would be happy to take care of your dog though, as it is just as therapeutic for me as it is for the owner's knowing their dog is in good hands. I want the owners to have peace of mind that their dog/cat is safe, happy and cared for.
