I am a part-time student and a mother of an 8 year old boy. I stay at home full time with him and our Golden Retriever, Leia. She is a year old. I have always had animals growing up my entire life and love them as if they are my other child. We love going for walks and playing in the park. Also expect your dog to get all the snuggles and attention because that will happen! I am usually pretty flexible with times but very organized with a calendar and others and will only sit with one family at a time so I can give the best care and attention to each dog. I am also not afraid to give your dog medications if needed, and baths at additional costs as well.
