I am single and own a home in North Park in San Diego. I moved here in 1989 for a position as an Occupational Therapist/Head Injury Clinical Specialist at Sharp Hospital. Since then I have been a Regional Vice President for Sun Healthcare and I am currently developing my own recruiting company from home. I also have a fused art glass business that I do from a studio at home.
I have owned several dogs during my childhood. I trained a dog to be a companion for my Dad during late stages of Alzheimer’s and then for my mom who lived alone. Many of my friends have dogs and when visiting me, they always bring them. I also care for their dogs and cats when they go away for vacations etc. My experience is with many different breeds and sizes of animals.
Until recently I have not had the time to devote to an animal of my own but instead, I have cared for many of my friend’s pets, mostly dogs when needed. Sometimes they visit for a day but also, as long as a week or more. My closest friend has a Siberian husky who stays here when he leaves town and comes over regularly for the day so she can get attention and time to play. I’m used to having animals around. I enjoy them and my home is perfect for them. With the yard fenced in, I usually leave the doors open so they can run and play as much as they like.
I drive an SUV and when I go out for errands, I often take the dog or dogs with me if they want. Walks in the neighborhood are easy and safe and trips to dog parks are a regular event. I welcome the opportunity to host your pets in my home.
