My beautiful rescue doggie, Coco, passed away the day after Thanksgiving. She was my best buddy for 14 years. While she was ill with lymphoma, I was on an "away" status with Rover.com caring for her. I also had a gorgeous 150 pound rescue mastiff, Dutch, who passed away two years ago. The vet said he was 101 years old! Now that I have no dogs of my own, I would Love to spend time with yours!! I've doggy sat many dogs over the years, and all are welcome in my home. I am the type that allows animals on furniture, as they all have washable covers! It is one of life's greatest joys to cuddle on the couch with a dog or two or three! My neighborhood is safe and quiet and perfect for dog walks and I have a completely fenced backyard with some grass, some dirt, a patio and a separate fenced side yard. I enjoy interacting with different dogs and their unique personalities. My Coco and I used to love taking walks, meeting new dogs, playing fetch with her favorite toy and being brushed and groomed. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I have had many cats and now have three lovebirds and one parakeets! When you drop your dog off at my home, I want you to be confident that he/she will be take care of completely - whatever that entails - to make your pet happy and safe!
