We have had dogs our entire lives, and have our own dog now that is under two years old that we have successfully trained on our own. We are super easy going, and love to let dogs roam, run, and play around the house. Your dog will get to play with our dog Maggie, and we have someone home all day to take care of your dog. We like to keep your dog on their normal schedule (Eating, crate time, sleeping conditions, etc.). We like to play with the dogs so that they get plenty of exercise. Your dog will be happy and tired by the time you come to pick them up from their visit. We are happy to send updates in the frequency you desire.
