We always had a dog in our family. I've taken care of my sister's and best friends dogs when they travel and continue to do so when they need me. I work full time (8-6pm). My daughters (21 and 25) are also available to care for your pet if needed during earlier hours. We want to do this as a team. My weekends are a lot more flexible as I'm home more hours. Our family is caring and loving and my daughters have taken excellent care of my own family's pets when I'm unable to, and I am also able to monitor this every time to make sure they hold up to the job. My home is 1900 sq.ft., inside a gated community, with a fenced yard that wraps around the house. Very respectful neighbors with pets of their own. No dog park, but plenty of space to run out in my back yard and/or take a long walk in the neighborhood or around the lake. My daughters (21 & 25) have helped me sit other dogs and they too enjoy it and take full responsibility when I'm not around. You can trust them 100%. I have a full time job, 8am-6pm Monday-Friday. However there are days I can get home as early as 5pm. My 2 daughters are home much more frequently, throughout the days. They would be providing help for the overnight stays, which I can monitor and trust that they do the job 100%. They will also be available for any requested walks, with many more flexible hours throughout the weekdays/weekends. My house is 1900 sq.ft. with a fenced-in back yard. My 2 daughters will be helping with this so your pet will be surrounded with lots of love and care. The walks can be long if your dog is up for it, but will also have access to the back yard for when we hang out for some fresh air. The community is large, with a lake where we can go and sit for a few minutes and take in the view.
