I'm a professor at local University with a flexible schedule and my spouse is retired. We adore animals and have one older terrier mix who gets along with other dogs. Over the last two years we have lost two of our older dogs and missing having multiple pets around. Our home is ranch style with large fenced in backyard. We often care for our friends and neighbors dogs and provide a wonderful, loving, calm home for your pet. They will be treated like our "kids" while your away!
