I am retired from a career of Social Work. I am at home almost all of the time to be with your pet. I provide loving care to all dogs who come to stay. I enjoy dog sitting very much. I have a good selection of toys. Dogs can sleep with me if they want to. The farm is agricultural. There are no farm animals. Presently there are no neighborhood dogs here. About this sitter: I live on 350 private acres of farmland, woods, where there are many trails for your dog to investigate with me---I love it as much as they do! I live with my small dog, who goes outside by herself. She easily accepts all visiting dogs with no jealousy when I give them attention. We are loving, peaceful, and happy. Location: 10 minutes from the intersection of 52 S and 85 S. I am 11 miles east of Mocksville and 11 miles west of the city of Lexington, off 64 W. I am 8 miles west of the Childress Winery. Why I love dog sitting: I have always loved dogs, and have had one or two for most of my life. I have been dog sitting for 7 years. I love it. Meeting and caring for dogs who come to stay is a real treat. Every one of them is unique with their own personality. I am happy to be able to spend so much time with my visiting dogs since I am retired. Meet my pet: My dog easily accepts visiting dogs and hardly ever gets jealous. If she does get jealous, it is always when the dog and parents come to meet us for the first time. A little loving is all she needs. Once they are here to stay she doesn't ever get jealous. She roams freely outside when she wants to, and usually sleeps inside at night unless it is warm outside. Then she likes to sleep on the porch. About my yard: I live on a 350 acre farm which is private with no thru traffic. I do not have a fenced yard but I do have several long lead lines which I can use if needed, but generally I go outside with them. I enjoy walking, so we will be doing as much of that as your dog requires and want. It is very private here and very safe as I am off a private road.
