I have an open backyard where your pet can play, and live on a quiet street that is perfect for long walks or jogs. I spend a lot of time outdoors on my patio and deck, so your pet will never feel stuck indoors all day. In my house, it is my husband (who adores dogs), my infant, and my cat Paddy, who also adores dogs! When our dog passed away last year, my cat lost its best friend, and now seeks to get some loving from any other dog whenever possible. If your dog is not cat-friendly, that's fine! We have a spacious basement that our cat can be housed in separately, so your pet can enjoy privacy in the main level of our house during their stay. We are flexible to follow whatever schedule and rules you have established for your pet, so the transition back home will be seamless.
