A loving dog owner all my life, my dogs now live with my ex wife and kids. I've raised numerous dogs of all sizes. After reading "All Creatures Great and Small" as a kid, I wanted to be a vet and worked for clinics from age 15-22, so I'm well versed in all aspects of pet care, including giving medicines of all varieties. I have a super flexible job, so I'm open to a wide range of options for boarding, house sitting, visits, etc. I do live in a very small house, behind a bigger house owned by a friend. He has two sweet dogs that share the back yard, which is fairly large and well fenced. One of my friend's dogs is a goofy 5-year-old Lab, and the other a 13-year-old mostly blind/deaf little mix. They both love other dogs, but there's always the option of keeping them apart, as I have access to his big house up front and do a lot of dog sitting for him. I love being active with dogs--playing ball, going to the dog park, swimming--whatever you're comfortable with. Dogs are usually welcome on my bed and couch for night-time relaxing! I'm also really good at reading dogs and knowing there's something wrong that needs attention, or if they're just being dogs. Again, I'm very flexible, so let me know if there's something that creates a great fit for what you need!
