While I don't have a whole lot of experience being freshly out on my own for a year I did have an 8 week old puppy me and my fiance house broke that we were only able to keep a few weeks due to just being in our own place and not being settled yet. I did raise and train and care for my own dog though while I lived with family for a year. Here at Destiny's room and board your furry friends will have for the most part free range of the home, will be able to get on furniture and if they stay over night and are used to sleeping with you they are more than welcome to make themselves at home. We do live right next to a dog park and an open park. Animals are my life so you could rest assured your furry family member will be right at home. I will soon be a stay at home mommy so i will have nothing but time to play and care for them. I will do anything to make your pet feel like they're at a home away from home!
