I've cared for dogs, cats and small animals all my life. Since the passing of my beloved chocolate lab, I'm missing the company of dogs! I miss the happiness & playfulness a dog brings to a home; the warmth and comfort of a warm snuggle and even the stinky dog breath. I'm looking to love your dog like it's mine while you're away in the comfort of my home. I'm married with two young children so child-friendly dogs are a must! I work full time but I have the flexibility to work from home. I have a fully fenced in yard but your dog will always get at least 2-3 walks per day. I can administer meds if necessary and I'm comfortable with puppies to seniors. My family has fostered over a dozen dogs over the last year and half since our family dog passed. We have cared for puppies, seniors and dogs with medical and behavioral issues. Our love and support contributed to finding the forever home for each and every dog we fostered, sometimes even 2-3 at a time. *** I'm also available for small animal care. Unfortunately I can't care for cats but I can take care of any of your caged (furry or scaled) critters.
