I am a mother of 5 kids. My kids are between the ages of 25 & 14. They all love animals! We currently have 1 dog, 1 bearded dragon lizard, a fish tank and an outside pond with fish and frogs. (The pond is in the front yard so your dog would not have access to it). I normally watch 2-3 dogs at a time so your dog must get along with other dogs. I don't require a meet and greet but we can certainly set one up if you would like. We do not put any dogs in crates unless they are normally crated in your home. Mon-Fri drop offs need to be scheduled before 10:00am or after 4:30pm. We have more flexibility on weekends. Because we allow the dogs full run of our house we do ask for a set time for drop offs and pick ups. This allows us to get other dogs downstairs or outside which makes your drop off or pick up much easier! We look forward to meeting you and your pets soon!!
