Under my watch you can rest assured your fur babies will be treated like my own, with patience, love and kindness. I am drawn to dogs like a mawmaw is drawn to babies. They bring a kind of happiness to me that I can't put into words. I will send you pictures throughout the day. Overnighters can sleep with me or wherever they are most comfortable. All I ask is that they be flea-free, wear a collar with tags and be bathed prior to arrival. (I will be happy to bathe them myself for an extra fee. My experience with dogs extends decades beyond the 18 years I've been an owner. I've taken care of dogs of various ages, breeds and sizes for friends, family and neighbors, both in my home and theirs. I have two Chihuahuas, Percy, 11, and Blanche, 17. Both are rescues and were preceded by Sam, also a Chihuahua, who died a couple of years ago from a lifelong heart condition. I have a part-time job with shifts ranging from three to eight hours. I return home for the one-hour lunch break on longer shifts to check in on my pets.
