I've had dogs throughout my lifetime, from childhood to very recently. My family and I had a schnauzer (who you can see in my photos!), who unfortunately passed away this year. As I have now retired from being a teaching assistant, I'd love to be able to change my child care duties to animal care duties and have some company to pass the days! I have lots of experience with older dogs too, as I cared for my dog Ozzie until he was almost 15. If I am dog sitting in your house, I cannot be anywhere where a Tom cat lives, as I am allergic to male cats.
