We've taken care of almost all breeds and prefer to care for 1-2 dogs (usually from one family to avoid conflicts). We will need to know your dog's mellow-to-energetic attitude. Dogs must be house trained. I can take your dog out to potty every 2 hours daytime, and 6 hrs at night. No bladder or bowel control problems or marking please. Would like to know last vet visit, and report of Parvo, rabies boosters, heartworm med, skin disorders and 'regular' worming as well as flea treatment. Special foods, allergies, bedding, and IF you use a crate we will allow for sleep or comfort only, and your dog will have constant access to us. Do they get their teeth brushed? Yes that's a serious question. Male dogs that mark furniture may not be acceptable. With expected large clean up, there's an additional $10 charge.

For almost 30 years in the same house, the same acreage, we are in a constant state of transition (aka 'what should we do with this room? Let's move this out, that in... you get the idea). We're home a lot, family is near, we are 'almost' always open on holidays. Also, I multi-task. I can house sit and pet sit in your home for short or long stays. My work is on my laptop, so even as semi retired, I can take it with me. Mostly we play with toys and spend time outdoors. Lots of running/playing room outside. Sun/shade: we never leave your dog alone out/in without our supervision.
