Hi there ! We are a very warm family who love dogs dearly. We have two kids of 10 and 11 who are great with dogs and know how to pet them having been around dogs since their birth. Our place is very neat and we live in a wonderful neighborhood in Chapel Hill which is awesome for dogs. Lots of walking trails,lakes and a dog parks, 1 of them fenced. I (mommy) would like to make pocket money with my passion of spending time with dogs. Our house is perfectly available. And they would never be locked in the cage unless the owner asks for it ! Few things to emphasize : 1. I would not like to leave dogs alone, which means we would be together almost all day -may be a few errands out. I like to drive with them if they would like to join me. 2. We play fetch and water games with dogs which is a lot of fun for all of us. 3. I do NOT prefer to change the habits of your dogs which means they are gladly welcome to sleep with us if they do so at home or I would put them in their kennel if that is what they are used to with you. 4. They are allowed on our furniture since I arranged everything accordingly, but if you don't let them dance on the coaches, then I wouldn't let them do either. 5. Please kindly keep in mind, I can not get any aggressive dog since we have kids and might have other doggy friends. 6. Would ask for updated shots and flea meds and NO ticks and fleas at all please. I can do pick up and drop offs for additional $10 and in some cases for free, we need to discuss pre boarding. I would try my best for flexibility for drop off and pick ups. Your dog would truly be the member of our family and would have his own vacation while you are having yours.
