Pet care experience

Hi. My name is Traci. My 21 year old son (Ryan) and I would love to meet your fur baby. I have been a dog and cat owner for 25+ yrs., my babies have been big and small and everything in between. My latest pup is Harley, a 10 old hound mix. She loves everyone! We can provide a safe, fun, loving environment. I have a flexible work schedule and my son is home most of the time which means there will be plenty of opportunities for potty breaks, walks and playtime. All with 24 hour supervision. I do have a fenced in yard so you can rest assured that your dog will be safe. I can provide pics and videos so you know your baby is safe and enjoying itself while in my care. Please let me know what questions you may have. We would love to meet you and your pet! Quick update: we now have a cat in the house, but she is very friendly and gets along well with dogs. I'm have a pretty flexible work schedule and am available for boarding every weekend and days after 3:00. My son is home full-time for potty breaks. I have a fenced in yard for security and my dog will keep yours company during the day while I am at work. I also have a doggy door so potty breaks are easy-peasy.
