I am the proud owner of three senior dogs, with a lifetime of dog experience. Neighbors and family rely on me to care for their dogs when they are away because I am responsible and compassionate, with a decent ability to train dogs. My history with animals includes fostering for a local dog and cat rescue, as well as managing a house of 3-6 dogs with different needs and characteristics. I was able to assist a family for seven weeks with a new puppy as well as their 14 year old dog and it reminded me of the simple pleasures I gain when I can add to the day of an otherwise solitary day due to family/ owner responsibilities. I do not board my own dogs because they are happier at home or at least being tended to on an individual basis.
