25 years caring for my own rescue dogs, professional petsitting, and fostering for rescue groups has given me extensive experience with all varieties of dogs and personality types. I have a large fenced wooded yard with dog door access. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible and accommodating. All said, it's a calm. loving, and dog-centric environment. All guests are treated like family, with free run of the house and yard, and no crates except by request.
