I've been caring for animals all my life, and truly enjoy it. In my early years, I lived on a farm with horses, pigs, bunnies, etc. In my 20 I was a dog groomer, and had a little side business house sitting and dog waking. I had a friend pay me a nice compliment when she met my new pup. She said Dakota your going to have a good life with Roxanne. Nice to know people recognize my affection for animals. I am familiar with older dogs and needs they may have. I can take you dog to the vet if needed. I can give meds. Hiking and swimming are my favorite things to do with dogs. I'm never alone with a dog by my side
