I have loved and taken care of dogs since the day I was a little girl. Since childhood we have rescued a few, adopted a couple and have raised one from a puppy. As a little girl and an adult, I have helped train our dogs. They are a big part of our family. I have been a stay at home mom for 4 years. We have helped take care of our friends dogs for years. I now have the time availability to help others, like you! Giving your pet love and attention while you are at work or on vacation. I am currently a stay at home mom. Our children dictate our schedules. I am flexible with scheduling as long as I know in advance and get what your needs are on the calendar. If your pet is staying with us, we are not gone more than a few hours at a time. Your dog(s) will have more love and attention then what they will know what to do with! Our household consists of my husband and our two sons. They have grown up with pets all their lives as well. We currently have Ace, our 8 year old Chocolate Lab, and Lucy, our 13 year old Yellow Lab. They both were trained hunting dogs. Lucy is the queen of our house who loves belly rubs and to give kisses. Ace is our King who loves to play fetch and sit on our laps as if he was a small dog. We have a small fenced in area where the dogs can do their business. When we have the dogs outside we have them on a leash or their dog collars. When will abide by whatever or however you have trained your dog to stay in the yard, walk or play!
