I was raised on a farm so I have some experienced with animal care. My wife Sue and I have owned dogs for practically our whole lives. Our home is currently without a dog. We wanted to have the freedom to go places and do things after the kids moved out. But I miss my dog friends. I have been doing occasional dog sitting and I really enjoy it. Walks in the park are more fun with a dog and it keeps me active. We live in a quiet neighborhood and I'm home most of the day now. My intent is to duplicate as much of the dogs daily routine as possible so they will be comfortable during the stay, but we will still have fun play times.
