Hey Everyone! My family and I are dog owners looking to help you with your pup in those times of need. I (Cody) teach at a local high school so I have all the normal breaks for schools and my fiance (Jennifer) is a traveling respiratory therapist so her schedule is flexible. We have a 7 year old daughter who loves all animals and stops at every DILP (dog I'd like to pet!) Our friendly pups, Champ and Sophie, enjoy a large fenced in yard with a doggie door, a quiet neighborhood with no pass thru traffic for their walks, and retired neighbors who spoil them by throwing the ball constantly! When we are not home our pups enjoy different amenities depending on the time frame. However, most the time they have access to the laundry room (where we keep their water) and access to their doggie door to enjoy the sunshine in the backyard or the back deck furniture. Our young pup is still learning what is a toy so he stays in his crate if it will be an extended period of time while our older one enjoys the run of the house and back yard. During my breaks from educating (summer, winter break and spring break), I (Cody) love DIY projects and cutting the grass which typically include a lot of time throwing the ball. Jennifer loves to walk the dogs during the day to get out of the house and we often take walks in the evenings or bring the dogs to our daughters events or practices! We have a large size crate if your dog would need to be crated and the ability to block the doggie door if your dog is a jumper or digger!
