Nancy has cared for my Australian Shepherd on many occasions. Sometimes I drop him off, and sometimes she picks him up at my home. Either way, he is excited to see Nancy and her little dog Winston. In addition to caring for my dog, I have observed Nancy caring for other dogs, too. Some are big. Some are small. Some are enthusiastic youngsters, and some are grumpy old ladies or men. Nancy is skilled and loving with all of them. Nancy has the perfect home for hosting dogs. She has a beautiful acreage and a home perfectly set up to accommodate any dog. I highly recommend Nancy as someone who will treat your dog as her own.

Schedule

I am a retired teacher and live on an acreage. I am home most of the time and spend a lot of time outside. I do have cats that are good with dogs. I have a young energetic mutt mix that looks like a mix of Yorkshire and Rat Terrier.

If your dog doesn’t get along with other dogs or cats, I wouldn’t be a good fit for you. I also need your dog to be okay with people. I prefer dogs that are kennel trained.
