We have a big yard and we are home full time. We have three boys 8,10, and 12 who will run and play with the dogs but are also very sweet and will love on them as well. My husband is a teacher so in the summer, we are both home full time. During the school year, I am home full time and can take constant care of your pets. We are a pet friendly family and have cared for numerous friends and family's pets. We are easy going and will make your pets feel like part of the family. We have one dog of our own who is used to being around other dogs and pets. There are always plenty of people around to give your dog the attention it needs.
