I have been around animals my entire life and cared for my own dogs for nearly 20 years. I often dog sit/house sit for friends and neighbors. I have two female pugs and a male terrier mix who are part of our family. While I do have kids and they may join in on a walk, I would always be the one in charge of the leash and walking your dog. We have a large fenced in yard for plenty of play time if you board or schedule doggie daycare with us. I also have experience caring for small animals like cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, lizards, chickens, and hamsters. I can board animals in cages/enclosures in an area where other animals do not have access or provide drop in visits in your home. With specific instructions, I could accommodate most types of animals.
