Your dog is never caged! I talk to them, care and play w them. I'm retired so can devote precious time to dogs. We have a doggie door and a huge, fenced and safe yard where dogs can play. They can also hang out w me in the spacious living area or nap on the sofa. I cover them up when they are napping (if they want). I will care for your dog as it was my own and will keep them safe. My husband loves all animals. He is the dog/cat whisperer! I consider dogs as little people and treat them w respect and care always. Dogs in my care will feel loved and attended to. I provide them w a large box of toys that they can use at their leisure, and sofas or beds throughout the living area for their rest or naps. I am retired so I have all the time to pet sit dogs. Only female dogs because the last two male dogs would mark the house with pee. Dogs can be inside or go outside using the doggie door. If they have never used a doggie door I will teach them. I also go outside several times a day to make sure they play and do their stuff outside.
