We live on a quite dead end street with a fenced in back yard. we have two dogs, a pug and a Dorky, we are fostering a sweet little long haired Chihuahua right now. We also have a nice park just a few blocks from our house for walks with your dog to. I do work outside of the home, but its part time so I am only gone a few house a day. I tell them our crew (our dogs) that this is there guaranteed nap time :-). I can take care of your special needs for your pets including giving medicine, drops and shots, as I have a special needs guy myself. our Pug is Diabetic and blind, so he gets medicine shots, eye drops and such every day. we have three children two 6 year olds and a 12 year old that loves to play ball and snuggle with dogs. our kids are in activities, so there may be times that we could be away from the house for a few hours in the evening, but never more tht that and there are always other dogs to hang with so that no one gets lonely.
