My husband and I have both grown up around dogs and we currently have two dogs. We have watched dogs of all sizes and temperaments and we always do whatever we can to make make them feel at home and to ensure they have a fun time. We love all animals and we will treat your pets as if they are our own. We have a fenced yard and our house is mainly tile which comes in handy if any accidents happen. We are very laid back and we do allow our dogs on furniture (we can also keep them off if that is a rule in your house, and we can uphold any expectations you generally have of your pet in your home). We like to go on walks and to the dog park or the brewery or wherever we can to keep the pets active and mentally stimulated. I work from home and I have a lot of flexibility to give your pet the love and attention it needs. We do have a cat but he stays pretty hidden and will stay away from your pet if he feels threatened at all. Our cat is very laid back and generally keeps to himself when new dogs are in the house. If you have any questions or want any more info please let me know!
