I have owned dogs most of my life, all sizes from toy terrier to St. Bernard. I received a dog for my 3rd birthday from my grandfather. It has been several years since I lost my last furry friend. Since then, I have kept every family member's animals when they traveled or worked. My dogs didn't sleep with me, but their dogs usually do. I have brushed, walked, medicated and loved many dogs. My neighborhood is quiet with few dogs. All walking is leashed with room to explore. I love most animals, unless they crawl on the ground. As a retired prekindergarten teacher, I love being around children, especially when my little grands are around. They also have dogs at home, so very accustomed to animals. It all keeps me young! I am home full time. Their schedule is my schedule. Available 7 days a week, anytime. Plenty of cuddle time for fur babies and grands! I do not have a fenced yard but live in the dead end of a very quiet neighborhood and close to a great dogpark.If fur baby needs a crate, client will need to bring it or other special bedding.
