I grew up with an Aussie and an over-sized Shelty in my home and they were loved members of our family. My husband and I currently aren't quite ready to own a dog, but we have a love of animals we'd love to share, so we are opening our home to guests. We have 2 cats, 1 avoids the dogs, and the other is curious. I am a stay at home mom with a 3-year-old daughter and 1.5-year-old son, both do well with dogs. I am available to watch dogs all day everyday. We have a fenced back yard and a dog run. Our home has an open living space allowing us to keep an eye on our guests. We live in a quiet area that is great for walks. I have a medium crate, leash and food dishes for our guests to use. If your dog does alright with kids and can walk next to a stroller, we are the place for you.
