Hello....I am not your average pet sitter. I have been a life-long dog owner [and horse owner and cat owner LOL] and was a veterinary assistant for many years. I have extensive personal and professional experience with dogs -- big, small, furry, bald, young or old. I love them all and having the opportunity to care for them is a privilege. My home is a doggy nirvana. Your pup will snuggle with me on my couch, in my bed and run around my fenced-in yard to his/her heart's content. I am retired, so I am home with your fur baby around the clock [with the exception of running an errand or 2 on occasion]. My 2 little shihtzus tend to mind their own business and are very used to having visiting canine guests. I am retired and will happily provide your fur baby with the loving care, attention and reassurance they need when you can't be with them. I have a fenced yard and 2 playful small dogs if your fur baby wants a playmate. I also have crates if you prefer that your dog be crated.
