Hello! I have two dogs who are basically my children. I work a great work schedule Mon-Thursday and I get a hour break for lunch which allows me to go home during lunch to let my dogs out for a potty break. I am also off Fridays-Sundays. I have a yard that is about .5 acres, fenced in and very sturdy (filled with non-toxic plants, yes, I checked before planting them!) I also have a covered porch area in the backyard. When your dogs stay I will always make sure they get plenty of potty breaks and also free roam of the house (if you are comfortable with that) My dogs are very playful and love all humans and dogs which insures your dog will get a lot of playtime! My dogs also enjoy swimming in our kiddie pools on hot days (just small plastic pools :) I am CPR/first aid certified. Also, rest assured your dog will be in the best hands as I have some personal experience with dogs with epilepsy (my sweet rescue dog has it, seizure free for over 6 months now :). I also am great with administering medication orally to dogs (I do this daily for mine). I know what the signs of toxicity poisoning and intestinal blockages are. Also, I know what to do when a dog gets injured (my golden has partially torn his ACL ligament in his leg, don't worry, its all better now :) I am excited to meet your dog and eager to hear from you! If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to ask.
