I provide a loving environment! Your dog will have a back yard to play in and will not be caged the entire time. I have a friendly husky that can either play with your fur baby or I can keep her separated from your dog.. your choice :) I am home full time, so your dog will not be lonely while you are gone. I will only watch dogs that are good with children or if not good with children are ok with being outside most of the stay. I also ask that any dog I keep must be up to date on shots and can provide the shot record. If your dog is not potty trained let me know before hand so I can take them out more frequently, but if they have an accident, no worries as I have hardwood floors :)
