They will be safe and loved

I love dogs! They are family. I've been a foster for rescue dogs for a little over 3 years. I love dogs of all sizes. I've always been an animal lover. Your dogs will be treated like family with us. I can provide references for all the dogs we have fostered and cared for. I am extremely reliable and understand the commitment it takes to care for someone elses fur children. I've lived in Temple for 5 years. I really love the area and decided to stay after moving to Texas. I have a master's degree in social work, but enjoy staying home with my children and dogs. My boyfriend wont let me adopt anymore animals, so I started fostering and caring for other people's dogs ❤.

Candice was a wonderful sitter and Nisha was on great hands. Her dogs were sweet and played well with Nisha. Will definitely rebook in the future.

My dog had so much fun that he didn’t want to leave. Trusting home and family. They sent daily updates with pictures and my dog was able to play all day.

Schedule

I work part-time during the week, but my schedule varies. I sometimes work from home. I have help at home, but I prefer to be there to take on the responsibility of ensuring the safety of the pets entrusted in my care.

We can go for walks or play in my large backyard. My golden retrievers love to play. Older animals can relax in the house. I usually let the little dogs sleep with me and my Pomeranian.

Must be dog and kid friendly. My children are 11, so they know how to treat animals and respect their space. They get excited to see new dogs. Your dogs will get a lot of love here! We are the type of family who include our dogs in our family photos.
