I've had at least one dog since I was 12 years old. I had a pug growing up, and now I have a lab/hound mix and a black lab. I also have spent time volunteering at animal shelters. I have a large, fenced back yard, so when I'm home, your dog can go outside and play as much as he/she wants to. I leave the door to my house ajar when it's nice outside and I'm home so the dogs can come and go as they please. I'm available all weekend, and Monday-Friday my schedule alternates from Monday, Wednesday and Friday at home one week, then Tuesday and Thursday at home the next week, so please message me and I will let you know if I will be home when you need me. If you want to board, please be aware there will be no one home on certain days for up to 8 hours, but I will let them outside and give them attention as soon as I get home. Also, I do have 2 children at home, so I don't let dogs in our living room so everyone has their own space, but my kids do move around a lot, so your dog will have to be ok with children. I will be very attentive with my kids, but since they have 2 dogs of their own, they're aware of how to treat dogs lovingly. I look forward to hearing from you!
