TLDR - I have experience with many types of dogs with varying needs. I have two kids and a dog that comes with me for long term house sitting, but not for drop ins or walks. I also have a fully fenced yard and can welcome a dog to come stay in my home if that is preferred. Growing up with dogs, I learned to understand their personalities and body language. I'm the person that will introduce myself to your dog down on their level. I have previous obedience training experience and have taken three dogs to state for competition. I have house trained countless puppies, so I'm happy to support an owner in the trenches of the puppy years. I am available for weekend visits and afternoon walks every day. I have two daughters, aged 10 and 12, who have lived their life around pets of all sorts and know how to be respectful. They have assisted in leash training several of my dogs and a friends' puppy, and have taken on the responsibility of feeding pets through the years. I also have a senior dog that enjoys socializing with other dogs. If your dog is not comfortable with children and other dogs, or you don't want to worry about my kids' behavior around your doggo, I am happy to arrange my visits with your dog to be just me. If you need overnight stay,s my daughters and dog would be coming with me. My dog is not destructive and my kids are respectful of the space they are in.
