After losing my 17 year old dog, Lucky, it's time to have another dog in my life and I will be happy to be a substitute pet parent for your beloved dog. I prefer well behaved and non agressive dogs (that are house broken) as I have two boys, ages 18 and 13. We are all used to having a dog around. Our house is large with an outside area with pool and small grassy area. There's a patio in back with a doggy door to access the back yard. I don't mind small dogs jumping up on the furniture as long as they are fairly clean! You can bring your own crate or doggy bed. I work at home and will be available for most of the day but may make a grocery store run for an hour or so during the day. I will, of course, treat your dog as I Would treat my own pet. I don't mind older dogs and would consider one who needed a little extra TLC. You can feel comfortable leaving your dog with me!
