Hi there, we are Alissa and Cody, both huge dog lovers and we cant wait to meet your family. I have had dogs most of my life and wouldnt have it any other way. I am a para working with kids with special needs in the NKC school district so I am currently off for the summer!!! Cody works 5 days a week but doesnt go in until 4p. So between the two of us your pups would be alone no more than 4-6 hrs. We just moved into a big house with a fenced in backyard for our pups, but dont worry we also have a large open basement to run around in if the weather is yucky outside. We do have 3 furry children, Skye and Felix (both 1 1/2 years old), and Leo who is a little over a year. They are all very loving dogs who enjoy playing catch in the backyard, running off energy at the dog park or even just lounging on the couch watching movies and they absolutely love making new friends. Our pets are our family so they do have free reign of our house, they typically sleep with makes for a full bed lol. We of course will tailor your pups stay to your wants and needs (no furniture, kennel while home alone, kennel at night, meal time prefrences). We have tons of durable toys for chewers but if your pup has comfort toys feel free to bring them along. We look forward to lots of playtime, belly rubs, ear scratches and puppy snuggles and we will send all the pictures, videos and updates you like while your pup is with us.
