Hello and thank you for your interest. I have been taking care of pets my whole life. I grew up in Virginia on a Farm with several dogs, a cat, and a horse. I have had a love for animals from the moment I was born. I've spent my entire life learning about animals especially dog behavior. I have worked in the animal industry for several years, having worked as the general manager for a large dog boarding Resort. I am very knowledgeable on dog behavior, play styles, general first aid, and how to care for your pet. I currently am home full-time. I do not have any children cats in my home. I do have a 17 month old Golden Retriever named Chance and an 18 month old American Cocker Spaniel named Buster. Both male dogs are neutered, house trained, and extremely social and well-behaved. They love meeting new friends and enjoyvplaying and running around. Neither of them are crate trained as we love having them on the couch, in our lap, and on the bed. Your pup would be treated the same way as ours, however if you prefer to bring a crate we have the space to accommodate and could provide a quiet environment for your pup if needed. Our home has a large secure fenced-in backyard that the pups love to run around in. We are also a very short driving distance from 2 dog parks that we frequent regularly. I am also available to come to your home to stay. My husband can stay with my dogs while I stay the night with yours. I love dogs, and I love knowing someone is there to take care of mine when I can't be. So I love taking care of your pet to keep them happy, healthy, and safe. Open communication is key to piece of mind, you can expect to have pictures and updates daily on their experiences.
