Although we are relatively new to caring for dogs, we have had cats and birds for years. We have babysat and fostered dogs since mid-2017 and now have our own sweet adorable 2 y.o. girl named Rubie since 1/6/18. She has graduated Obedience classes 1 and 2. I have a flexible schedule and am off Mondays and Fridays, so we are very available Fridays through Mondays and would love to take the dog for mile-long walks around the MHC lake, on hikes in the area, or to the Granby dog park if big run area is needed. While I do work Tuesdays and Thursdays, we will have someone in the house in the mornings and afternoons, so the dog would be alone only up to 4 hours. I work all day Wednesdays, but it can be arranged 3 weeks in advance that I return around noon or 1 pm to check on the dog. Our 7 year old daughter is very interested in getting to know different dogs, playing with them, and tossing them their toys. Our 12 y.o. diabetic orange cat is shy (we administer his insulin shots) and will stay away from the dog initially, but hopefully come out later to say hi to your pup. We also have a large fenced front yard, and unfenced backyard and for the leashed dog to explore. We are vetted foster parents for Dakin and Rainbow Rescue. I am a part-time psychotherapist.
