Yard is fully enclosed-pics in profile. My husband and I are on opposite schedules so your fur baby will only be alone for a maximum of 2-4 hours. I have always loved animals. I dog sat all through college, volunteered with numerous animal shelters and currently a foster mom for PuppyGals. I also have experience with rescue dogs that are scared, have anxiety, or were previously abused. My dog Paisley is one of my rescues and she was previously abused and has lots of anxiety. No dog is too much to handle, I guarantee. I am very open to all breeds and sizes, although my dogs are small they love all animals. I have raised 4 puppies and have no problem with any aged dogs. I love to cuddle, and give lots of kisses! Any dog is welcome, I have a large fenced in yard and plenty of free time to spend with animals. I have a screened in patio as well so I can monitor dogs while they are in yard. I have plenty of toys for chewers as well so no issues there!
