I am home full time, will be able to keep your dog on the schedule you have already established. Your dog MUST be good with kids, especially babies. If you are unsure please don't book with me. Otherwise, enjoy your time away knowing your pup is well taken care of! Your dog will be able to play with my lil Maddie, she is a dachshund and super friendly. My husband also loves playing with dogs and we have a large back yard for them to run around and play. We are even home most of the time on the weekends so your dog will never be alone more than 4-5 hours at any time. I hope you will trust your family member with us, we look forward to it.
