I grew up with at least one dog and one cat. They were family and were treated as such. I foster animals when needed but find there are many volunteers and this has limited my ability to be around animals as much as I'd like. I love to travel so getting another dog doesn't make sense. I thought what better way to get my pet fix than to care for others while their family is away or not able to. I have a yard but love to take walks. It would be nice to have a companion while going for walks. I am patient, trustworthy and reliable. I pride myself and taking good care of the animals in my care. I can't wait to meet your loved one! I don't have any carpet in my house so play space isn't limited. I do work most weekdays so please let me know if you have special requirements.
