I am experienced with dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles...and would love to help them and you out! pets at my house basically have free run, can sleep wherever as long as I am home. Have a big yard however it is not fenced. we live 3 blocks away from the reservoir and about 1/2 mile from Wamputuck state park. I own 3 dogs of my own, so your dog must get along with other dogs. If your dog likes to walk/swim/play...we would be perfect for that!! Or if your dog is a lazy bones like my older 2, we are ok with that too.
