I grew up with a variety of dog breeds from small, to larger sized pups. I enjoyed the experience during my childhood, and hope to share it with my daughters until they are old enough to help me care for our very own dog! My toddler loves dogs, and is always enthusiastic to meet a dog of any size or breed (and I am too)! I hope to help distract your pet from missing you so terribly, and ensure they aren't lonely, or made to wait in less than ideal circumstances. I'll treat your furry loved one like one of my own, and your fuzzy family member will help me teach my daughter to value, and care for all animal's well-being and nurturing. I hope to help you have assurance that your pet is safe, and well tended in our home. Our toddler knows how to be gentle, and we have taught her to respect boundaries, and to recognize when a pet no longer wants to interact. She also has learned a great deal about being quiet and calm since the arrival of her sister. The kitchen is gated, and a good open area where your pup can go for some privacy and relaxation. This will also be a good spot for he or she to still have freedom for movement, and activity at their own pace. The kitchen is the break room for mommy and daddy too, so we completely understand the need for a proverbial hiding spot. If you want us to come over, the girls will stay in the car with daddy for house visits and walking, but only if requested. We can't wait to meet you and your dog(s)!
