Hi, I have a 9 year old boy and a 6 year old girl who really wants a dog, I can not commit to a dog on weekends so this is a wonderful compromise. I have one senior cat that sleeps all day and goes out at night. Any dog in our care will receive a lot of play time, walks to the park and duck pond and a lot of love. I will consider this as my 9 year old sons first job it will be a great experience for him and will make for a happy dog and kid. I will be present at all times to supervise and and help care for the dog. I was a child care provider for 8 years so this will be a nice treat for us :)
