We usually wake up around 7am, let the dogs out and start our day. My husband wakes up around 5am, if you have a dog that needs to go out earlier than 7am. I am a stay at home mom, so I'm able to really tend to your dogs needs. We do have a cat that is indoor/outdoor, so your animal must be nice with cats as well as our cat isn't mean at all. During the summer I take the dogs up American Fork canyon almost daily to swim at Tibble fork, or go for a hike in the canyon. I hike all over even during the winter time. I have an 11 month old golden retriever who needs to have a lot of daily exercise. On the days that I'm too busy to take the dogs up the canyon, I'll take them over to the fenced elementary school near my house once schools out and throw the ball across their large grassy fields. My older dog Ruby (ausiedoodle 9yrs old) she just wanders around, while Finn (golden retriever 11 mths) chases the ball as if his life depends on it, haha. We will usually run into a few other dogs there that they'll say hello to. I leave my dogs food out so the can graze as they like. When I watch dogs I will doo feedings morning lunch and dinner or as directed by you. We usually go to bed around 9-10pm. At this point the dogs get crated, usually they have a few bones in their crate to keep them occupied if needed.
