I am currently a cancer survivor so being with animals is very nurturing. Hiking around the Santa Cruz Mountains is a favorite past time and part of my weekly routine. I would enjoy having a furry friend along. While I have your family member is my care it is important to keep our communication open. I would be happy to text, e-mail or call as you would like. I have a nice big doggy bed and a comfortable home. There are no other animals in the home and I have baby gates in the doorways going outside for safety. I own my own home and live along so your family member only be with me. Just recently I helped a friend nurse her dog after a leg amputation. Her husband was not available to I went to her Lake Tahoe to help her nurse her dog back to health, it was a wonderful experience. He is now romping around on three legs as fast as his brother. A really good feel experience for me. If you choose me you will not be disappointed, I am very mature and responsible.
