I can't remember a time in my house that we didn't have at least one dog snoozing in the sun somewhere. When I was a kid I was less the caregiver and more the wrestling and tag partner, but I watched my mother raise two dogs from puppies with equal parts love and discipline, and rescue a third off the racetrack who could barely walk on linoleum floors without shaking with anxiety. Dogs are the most welcoming, forgiving, nonjudgmental living things anyone could share a home with. I would like to help keep home feeling like home even when the pooch's parents are away. I'm used to every energy level, from border collie to greyhound, and every size. I have experience with all ages, from puppy to oldie, and whatever degree of discipline an owner could want or a dog could need. I want to keep things as stable for your pets as possible.
