My kids and I lost our dog two years ago and this mama isn't ready for a new dog, so I thought this was the next best thing. Taking care of others doggies. We are so excited to give these guys so much love and attention. I work part time, so the longest your pet would be home without us would be for 5 hours and the 5 hours is only one day a week, We do have a back yard but it is not fenced so we would be taking your dog for walks. We take a walk daily, regardless if we have a dog visitor.
