For the past 15 years I have owned 2 small dogs, a dachshund and a terrier mix, one of which I rescued from being put down. I am a wife and a mom of 2 boys and I love all sorts of animals, but especially dogs! I grew up with a Beagle, a cat, a rabbit, goldfish and gerbils. Back in college I had several friends that worked at veterinary clinics and many times we would have doggy play dates. Now a days, I am a school teacher. During the summer I get to recharge my batteries by playing with my furry friends and helping others. I am comfortable with small to large dog breeds and young to old. I empathize with animals and hate for them to feel alone or bored, so let me keep your dog company while you are away!
