About: I grew up with large dogs, so I am comfortable with all sizes and breeds. I raised my Australian Shepherd, whom I rescued when she was 6 weeks old, until she was 16 years. I took care of her in all phases of life, puppy, adolescent, energetic adult, and then when she was aging and in diapers. I am patient and loving with all pets. I am currently working part-time, mostly at night, so I am available during the day on weekdays. On weekends, I am home with my family, so I can easily arrange to care for other people's pets. I have a fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs who go to doggie daycare once a week, so they love other dogs. My house is big enough for a crate or kennel, and I can divide the space with gates.
