We are pretty low-key at home. We both have hectic professional lives. Our home is our sanctuary to relax. So if you have a dog that needs multiple walks per day or is overly-energetic, we may not be for you. That is not to say we won't walk your dog, however. We do love taking dogs for walks. We're just pretty low-key when at home. When warm enough, excursions to dog-friendly beaches are very likely on weekends, as long as you are ok with them swimming and retrieving tennis balls! In colder months, we like to take brisk walks in nature. Your dog(s) will be well cared for and given lots of attention. We will love on your dogs as if they were our own. They'll get lots of snuggles, rough-housing(if allowed by you), fetch, tug of war, hide-n-seek. We would prefer crate-trained, but understand that not all dogs need that. If your dog doesn't get into 'stuff' or jump on tables/countertops, we're totally fine having un-crated dogs. While they will be home alone from 7:30-4, I can make a run home during my lunch if needed. ***Our profile says we can take 2 dogs/day. We are willing to watch two dogs from the same household. However, we do not want to host two dogs from two different households as we don't truly know how your pups may behave with others.*** ***We have had several requests for stays of a month or more. Unfortunately we have a pretty active travel lifestyle and are only available for shorter stays ,around 2 weeks or so. We cannot accommodate month+ stays, sorry.***
