My husband and I work as a team. He is known around the neighborhood for walking our dog, our neighbor's dog and our grandpuppies when they are over. Between the two of us, there is a human home 80 - 90 per cent of the time. Although we don't have children living with us, we have a 4 year old granddaughter, who loves to play with dogs, come over twice a week. Our house will never make the cover of "Good Housekeeping" but it is safe and "pet friendly." All of the dogs we have ever owned were rescue dogs, including our Boxer Popeye. We've both had dogs all of our lives. We'll treat your dog with all the love and care we give our own. Pet care IS our daily routine. We're both retired so someone is home with the pups almost every minute. Roger walks each pet daily as weather permits. We have a fenced yard and pups get to go out and come in as often as they like. They sleep indoors wherever they want. They are allowed on furniture and our bed.
