I have always owned a dog. Absolutely love them. I will play fetch and cuddle all day long. I am home all day and can provide as many potty breaks as needed. I have 2 golden doodles of my own. They always enjoy the company of a new companion. I also have 3 kids ages 8, 9, and 12. They are great with animals as well and would love to give your pup extra love and attention. I do have a cat. She is good with dogs but will need to have the pups be good with cats and kids. I look forward to loving your dog as my own while you are away! I love all breeds of pups and can't wait to get started!
