I've taken care of dogs, cats, turtles, fish, chinchillas' since I was 12 years old. Neighbors, friends, co-workers, and family have called on me to take care of their precious fur baby when they had to be away. I have experience with rescue dogs of my own and senior dogs with special needs. I'm happy to give meds etc. when needed. When your fur baby stays with us, it's just like home. They can sit on the furniture, sleep in bed with me and play or hang out in my fenced yard if that makes their visit just like home. I do ask that they be up to date on vaccinations and would want to set up a meet and greet the first time they might stay here. I'm semi-retired and work from home so am available almost 24/7. If your dog needs special attention on a regular basis they can get it here. I have a fenced yard for your dogs enjoyment and several of my own dogs and cats for them to play with if they like. I also have a quiet area in the home that they can choose to spend time in if that's what works best. I try to accommodate their particular temperament, likes, and dislikes. They can also be crated if they prefer. It's all about the your pet.
