We are a family with 3 boys ages 7-12 who LOVE to dog sit, and we also provide an Airbnb within our home 20 min from Zion for the convenience of being able to stay in the same place as your dog! (Of course you don’t have to stay here for us to watch your dog.) Ask me for the listing if interested. We have a friendly German Shepherd and we have yet to see a dog he doesn’t get along with of any size. He will confiscate and destroy any of your dog’s toys so they are best left behind. 😆 My husband and I both work from home with a very flexible schedule apart from some scheduled meetings. We’re almost always home but once in a while we need to step out for maybe a couple of hours. We are a home to give your dog a loving and safe place to stay and be cared for, but the nature of our lives doesn’t usually allow for strict schedules. As long as you’re good with us doing the best we can, then we will work out great. 😄 We have a fenced yard though it will not keep in escape artists. Dogs mostly stay inside unless they prefer outdoors. We have a gate inside the house at the entryway so that dogs can’t get near the front door. We accept up to 3 extra dogs, so your pup must get along with other dogs. We can give your pup his/her own space if he/she prefers to be alone. They must not have any questionable behavior towards children. Speaking of children, it’s impossible for us to keep things off the floor at all times, so a dog that is always chewing on things left on the floor would not be a good fit. 🤪 We only crate dogs according to the owner’s wishes, and only if necessary in times for the dogs’ safety.
