I am an animal lover I actually prefer the company of animals, we just get along so well. I'll care for your dog as if it were my own. Each dog has their own personality and way of life I believe you have to get to know that particular animal in order to be able to care for it. I have had dogs my entire life, over 30 years. About seven years ago my beloved Akita Chow mix passed away after being with me for 18 years. I have cared for up to 7 dogs plus numerous cats at one time all within my home. I work from home so I am home almost 24/7 except for the occasional times that I have to run short errands.
