I have been a dog owner for 11 years. I treat them as part of the family. I have plenty of fenced yard for them to run and play in a quiet country neighborhood and will be able to walk them up to three times a day. I work from home during the week so I am available anytime during the week and on weekends. I do have two small dogs of my own so your dog should get along well with other small dogs. We don't have any children living in the home but our son, age 5, is here once a week. I keep organic peanut butter banana treats on hand to share with the dogs I care for. I look forward to having your dog in my home!
