I grew up with black labs and cats all my life. My whole family loves animals. My 13 year daughters and I live in a connecting house to my parents. Currently I have 3 cats but they can be kept in one house while the dog is in another alone with no other animals. We can care for a dog in our house or at yours. One daughter has a dog walking business and adores them. We have 5 dog loving people in the house and there is always someone home. I work from home 4 days a week. One dog I had growing up needed insulin shots, so that would not bother me. I have experience giving animals pills as well I walk the dog in the early am, my daughter walks then midday and then I walk them at night. We have a big field nearby that is mostly fenced in, a safe neighborhood and walking trails.
