Description
My name is Monica and I own and operate a wellness centre for dogs in my home. I offer a day camp program and overnight arrangements for canines. Dogs love it here because they get to interact with their own kind in a safe and natural environment. You will learn a lot about pack behaviour and how to care for multiple dogs. I live in a rural setting 20 minutes from downtown st. John's and share my home with a Newfounland dog, a Spanish Mastiff and 3 cats iin Torbay, Newfoundland.
I am preferably looking for a mature and responsible female who can stay for a period of one month. Please, non-smokers only. Driver's license required.
