I have owned dogs most of my life and consider them part of the family. They each have their own distinct personality and all they ever want is love and affection, and to feel safe and cared for. I feel a home is not truly a home unless a dog is part of it. They complete the picture and bring joy to their owners. I am now retired after spending most of my career in executive management positions. I've raised a family and put two children through college who graduated with no debt. I would say that I am highly responsible and have a strong work ethic, which will translate into the care I provide to your cherished pet. I live in a gated community and your dog will always be on a leash when outside. I will also provide you with active updates on how your pet is doing, including pictures, as often as you would like.
