I have trained my own rescue dog to pass the AKC good citizen test and we occasionally go visit my former employer to lift morale. I believe all animals are good and just because an owner is away, they shouldn’t have to go to a strange place to be taken care of. Kennels are loud, cold and scary. In home care is the least stressful for your pet while you are gone, in my opinion. Your pets will be treated as well as my own. They will be loved and cared for so you don’t have to worry. I’m happy to send you updates and/or pictures if you desire so you know you pet is happy and well cared for. I would be honored to help you pets while you are away!
