I live in a quiet home without pets, in a calm area by Silver Lake. There's a big, open, lightly forested back yard (no fence), with plenty of room to run around and play, on or off leash! We're also surrounded by woodland trails, and close to a beach if your little one likes to swim. There are no neighborhood dogs running around off leash, and my house has minimal stairs, making it easier for the older pups. As for in home care, I know strangers entering their home turf can be stressful for some dogs and recognize those feelings must be met with patience and understanding. I'm happy to stay as long as you think is comfortable for your pup and partake in any activity that will aid their contentment while you're away. I'm not highly educated on the treatment of dogs with extensive illnesses but can follow instructions and complete your needs in most cases. I'm more than happy to meet with you and your pup before the date to go over all your needs and form some trust between all parties.
