About: I have cared for dogs cats ferrets horses snakes mice from a teenager onwards. Experience with large breed dogs, I’m all for sofa cuddles with all types of animals - my partner and I also work from home with a fenced in back garden! ***As it is summer please make sure your animal Is up to date on flea and tick preventative My partner and I work full time at home, however my job is flexible my dog gets 3 walks a day morning lunch and dinner and that changes based on the weather - to hot we wait until it cools, rainy - we get the rain jacket out. I have a fenced in yard, with ring cams front and back - I have a Great Dane that loves everyone and every animal. I make sure the water is filled anytime I leave and any feeding/snacks are given.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life since I was a child. Owned a pack (4) for 16 years until the last one crossed the rainbow bridge. Now own an American Foxhound I found injured and took him in. He is the most expensive “free dog” I have ever had. We were meant to be together. One dog is not enough for me. My Fur baby loves frens. I take fur babies have 24 hour supervision. We love our furry frens. I have a fenced yard and one dog. I stay at home to supervise them and spoil them. We love the company. My Snoopy loves frens. I’m home full-time. 24 hour supervision. My dog loves frens and I love dogs. Your fur baby will have a quiet, safe place to visit while you are away. I have a friendly disabled dog that loves company. We cannot keep Pitbulls or large dogs due to my dogs disability. We are here 24/7 right now. Love having visitors. Can handle health issues. Licensed nurse. Come visit!
