I have a fully fenced in backyard with lots of room to run and play ball. I have two dogs of my own to play with your fur baby as well. In the summer I setup a dog pool. I do pay attention to weather, so on really hot days or really cold days, I make sure they are never outside to long in those dangerous conditions. I am able to crate your dog if needed. And also crate my dogs if I feel your dog needs some one on one time and a break from my dogs. During the school year, I love taking your dog on a walk to the bus stop to see the kids and smell all the smells. At night your dog is allowed in bed with me if they prefer or I can make up the most comfortable bed on the floor. During the day comfortable naps including blankets and pillows on the couch. Please note- I do live in a split level home. With that being said I have stairs. I let the dogs out through the deck. Our deck does have steep stairs and can be slippery in winter. It may not be a good fit if you have a very senior dog and or a dog with bad arthritis or leg issues.
