I have lived and taken care of lots of different dogs and cats. If your dog comes for a sleep over my dogs are gracious hostess and let them have the bed and couch. They love to have a buddy to go on walks with us or a swim. I have an acre of fenced property for them to roam in if they come for a visit. If your here on vacation we love the doggy beach so while your enjoying your day so will your dog swimming and playing with other dogs. I do have 3 indoor cats so your dog would have to like cats. My cats are use to having different dogs here and don't mind. Your pet will be treated just the same as one of mine, pretty spoiled and loved!
