I've been caring for dogs over 20 years I've personally owned dogs my whole life I have not made this a profession it's more of a joy to me because I love animals so much.your dog would never be in any harm and would be treated like my own. I'm pretty flexible on my schedule can pretty much work around any hours. I can also provide transportation can come pick up and drop off if needed. I am older my kids are grown the only small children around is my grandson he's 4 years old and he comes over about once a week. And he is very good with animals also very calm. I have food and snacks here already unless you have a preferred diet I can follow that as well
