Have always had dogs and watched dogs for friends and family when they have gone on vacation. Between my wife and I, our little dog, and our 3 children, your dog will get plenty of attention. My wife works from home, so it is no problem letting the dogs out at anytime. Your dog will get a walk around the neighborhood in the morning and in the evening. We allow dogs on the furniture and the beds. They get a walk in the morning and in the evening, and can be taken out at anytime during the day if needed.
