My husband and I have two dogs of our own that will gladly lounge around and play with your dog while s/he stays with us. Of course, if your guy prefers to be alone, we can accommodate some separation but prefer dogs that get along with others. We have a 8-yr-old daughter, as well, who loves all things furry and will help provide rubs and play time in our fully fenced backyard. Your pup can hang out with us in the house all day long or take a romp in the backyard. I can provide up to 2 walks/play sessions, depending on your dog's activity level. Feel free to bring anything that will help your dog feel more at home (bed, kennel, favorite toy), their food, and I will take care of the rest so you can enjoy your trip. I work out of the house but my husband does work from home so your doggo will have company during the day. About my yard We have a decent sized fully-fenced backyard with a covered patio for shade. It is flat and grassy with room to run around, play fetch, or lay out in the sun. My experience administering medication Provided that I am given clear instructions and demonstrations if needed and your dog isn't overly aggravated by it's administration.
