I’ve had pets my whole life. They bring so much love and joy into a home. No special training, just a genuine love of animals. I’m retired so my schedule is very flexible. Most of my time is spent reading, making art, cooking, sewing, spending time outdoors and looking after my own small, elderly dog. I have a large backyard that is completely fenced, with plenty of room to run around. My house is dog friendly, (although I don't have a doggy door) in a great midtown neighborhood . I am within walking distance to a dog friendly, leashed pet park. I supervise my pets at all times when outdoors at home.
