I’ve had my own dogs to take care of since I was 18. I’ve had small dogs (Jack Russell Terriers-JRT), big dogs (Great Dane), and dogs in between (rescues of unknown types.) While I don’t have any professional experience with training, I have learned a lot from my past pets and have completed obedience training with my current dog, Maggie. I am a dog lover and have patience with puppies-I’ve raised several of my own plus had 3 litters of JRT puppies from my dogs years ago. I work full time from home but leave to take kids to school and pick them up from school. I am occasionally out on weekends at soccer games or other kids’ activities but usually only for a couple of hours at a time. I’m very flexible! I have a fenced in back yard. My dog Maggie is friendly but gets a little overwhelmed if another dog is too playful. If it comes time to separate them, Maggie is crate trained and would enjoy her alone time in her crate. I have a 2nd crate for your dog as well for nighttime. If your dog doesn’t do well with crates, we can accommodate them however you describe as best! My husband and I have 3 children, 9, 5, and 3 who will love on your pet while they’re here once they’re properly introduced and are showing signs they’re comfortable with each other.
