In the past when I would dog sit we could go outside if it's nice out every other hour just to enjoy the nice weather. I do have a dog of my own so they will always have someone to play with! No kennel at night because cuddling with doggies is the best unless you absolutely want to be kennel trained. I have a very energetic German Shepherd so play time is constant with a few short naps! I have experience with a tiny chihuahua up to a large German and pit mix. My dog gets along with any and all dogs. I just ask that if you come to me your dog is wonderful with kids! I hope to hear from you soon and meet your furry family members!
