Pet care experience

We are lifelong dog and cat owners. Our pets are part of the family. My experiences include feeding, bathing, walking, giving medication, brushing and playing. I am a school bus driver and work a couple hours in the morning and a couple hours in the afternoon which leaves me plenty of time for doggy fun! I have a fenced in yard and live in a great walking neighborhood. I currently have a cat, and my daughter who lives in the upstairs apartment has a friendly lab that often hangs at our house and loves to play.

Second time my two small dogs stay at "Grammies House". They come back happy as if they just came back from the park and getting the daily pictures of them hanging around or going outside is just wonderful.
