I have had animals all my life. I am retired now and feel I can do this with minimal difficulty. I am not afraid of cats or dogs. I know they require time and patience. I do have a 6 ft fenced in yard for potty purposes that I keep cleaned up. I am a friendly and well liked individual. As stated I love all animals and will look out for them as if they were my own. All pets vaccinated. Your pets are required to be vaccinated. I live in a neighborhood of older, smaller homes. I truly love dogs as I have some of my own. My personal dogs are older and very calm. They are small animals so they bark. No bitters.
