I've helped care for all sorts of puppies and elder dogs since I was 12, but lived with dogs all my life, from watching the births of 2 puppy litters and potty training the youngest, to giving elder dogs on their last legs medicine and happy days in the sun. I've sat in on training of a stubborn German Shepherd and helped get her from jumping and barking at household members to greeting friends off leash in the front yard. I'm always learning more about different dog breeds intelligence, how to care for them, and how to train them. I have recently moved to Bellingham and am still currently looking for a new job working with pets, so for now I have all week all hours available to get to know your pup and give them plenty of attention, so long as they are cat friendly :) I do not have a fenced yard or a dog crate, but do have the space for a crate if needed. I live near dog parks and beaches. I have a small/medium dog bed, a small dog leash, and a small food/water connected dish. Owner must provide enough dog food, toys, and any other necessities. I own 2 small indoor cats who are experienced with small dogs and mostly keep to themselves, dog must be ok with cats.
