I have always shared my home with at least one dog. A house is not a home without the love and companionship of our 4 legged family members. I believe every dog deserves love, respect, shelter, and a deep sense of security. In my home, I want every single dog to know they are loved, valued, and needed. When they are in a caring home, a dog responds with love, devotion, and companionship. Regardless whether caring for my own dogs, or ensuring that someone's beloved pet has a secure and happy experience while his 'parents' are away, I aim for wagging tails, dancing doggies, and big, wet, doggie kisses! I am retired but continue to manage two small companies I created. My only commitments are those I have chosen. In a nutshell, pets are my joy and fulfillment! Dogs have slid into the #1 spot on my hit parade now that my grandchildren don't need Yaya hanging around - LOL. To be sure, happily, dogs ARE my daily routine. I provide affection & attention. We have an easy routine we follow daily, including meals, walks, and play. Dogs are allowed on the furnishings. My floor is concrete with no area rugs, so no dog is ever shamed if they have an accident; that's what vinegar water and paper towels are for! I recommend 'Meet & Greets' to introduce myself to you and your pet. You should be very comfortable leaving your pet in my care. After several happy years caring for Rover dogs, I can assure you, your dog will be quite happy in my home. I am retired and I have devoted my home & my time to caring for small dogs. I am a ‘bless the beasts & the children’ kind of person and I find pleasure taking care of these little characters. My doggie guests are allowed to sleep in any bed they choose, on the sofas or chairs, or can bring their own bed. We take two walks a day, and meals are served twice a day. When dogs arrive for the first time, they sense the safety & serenity of this home. They know they are special, and welcome here.
