I’ve owned and cared for a variety of dogs - all ages, breeds and sizes - for over 17 years and have a special interest in senior dogs who may need extra medical care and attention. My home is ideal for dogs that like to run around and play in a fenced backyard and let themselves out to potty through a doggy door. There are no stairs in my house, so it's great for senior dogs who may have trouble getting around. For the less active pups, I’ve got dog beds and a couch that they’re welcome to nap on throughout the day. I’ve tried to make my home as dog friendly as possible so your pup feels comfortable while you’re away. I work from home, so I’m home almost all of the time. I take several breaks throughout the workday for walks and playtime. My day just doesn’t feel complete without sharing it with a dog! I have a senior sheltie, Lulu, along with a rescue lab mix puppy, Leela, who loves to play and will keep your dog active. Some older dogs may not like her puppy antics, so a meet and greet before you book is important. All dogs, no matter the size or temperament, will be treated with care, respect, love and patience. Dogs are my teachers and give me the opportunity to practice genorsity and kindness at every turn. Every dog that’s crossed my path has helped me see the world differently and grow. I hope to be able to share my heart and home with your best friend and give you a sense of peace while you're away. “Because of the dog's joyfulness, our own is increased. It is no small gift. It is not the least reason why we should honor as well as love the dog of our own life, and the dog down the street, and all the dogs not yet born. What would the world be like without music or rivers or the green and tender grass? What would this world be like without dogs?” - Mary Oliver
