If there is anything the owner (s) think I should know before I commit to watching a pet, please feel free to put that in your request. I may have other dogs on some days as well so food aggression, or other issues is important for me to know. I have had a couple complaints about dogs smelling like smoke in the past. So I would like to add we do use a fire pit on occasion, safely of course. I am all about outdoor activities. If anyone smokes cigarettes that visits, its outside as well. It's possible that you may or may not smell something on your pet that may resembles smoke if they are the type to stay close to me, or on my lap frequently, I am very mindful of all our dogs health and safety so please know that its very important to me . Thanks so much in advance.

I have a large fenced in property with locked gates for added protection. We DO NOT use front entrance for drop off, we use the side gate on Chester st. next to house and church, or the alley behind big gates in back of property is fine to park as well. Its much safer than the front,because of the busy street. If you get here and I do not reply to texts or calls quickly please try again. Sometimes the dogs are loud and its hard to hear my phone., or I run back and forth from house and garage to grab or do something and forget to grab my phone and I may miss your call. You can also knock on back corner of garage as a last resort, to get my attention as we are mostly in there. There is a pool filled at all times with fresh water for those hot days, a sand box with canopy, and a water sprinkler for lots of playing and jumping in the water as well. There is a huge tree on the side of my house towards the front that provides plenty of sticks I collect for chewing and hanging out outside (They always seem to gather on the patio and have little stick parties :) I also have a huge air-conditioned 3 car converted garage with toys for playing, big couches and plenty of dog beds for lounging, and staying cool when we are not outside. During the cold weather months, we like to lounge around the fireplace heater, watch T.V., play with toys, and belly rubs and scratches are always given freely. I put forth extra effort, in any way I can, to make it an awesome home away from home for them. For the cats we have an office in our ministry building on the same property that we have set up for them. The cats love it in there and I am in and out several times a day to play with them and make sure they are content :) Since dogs and cats dont always mix its just so much better for them to have their own space.
