I will love to stay with your dog over the weekend when you have to travel and can't take your friend with you! I am home from Thursday pm until Sunday pm. I work from Monday to Thursday so I won't take boarding unless they are used to stay by themselves (with Copper!). I have a fenced yard and a very happy friendly Beagle, Copper who will love to make friends and play all day with your dog (yes, he is full of energy)! I have had dogs since a kid and love them! We take Copper for hikes and to run and will love to take your dog together! He/she will have access to all the inside of the house, and will be as spoiled as Copper is! =)
