I have had dogs for over 20 years. My last dog passed away recently. I miss the company of dogs. I am retired but active. I walked my dogs every day, up to 3 miles, depending on the weather and temperature. Our home is securely fenced and gated all round . We have a large garden and plenty of places to walk locally. We look after our granddaughter every Monday. She has her own dog and is fine around dogs. I completely appreciate that your dog is a valued part of your family, so rest assured he or she will be well looked after. He or she will have the run of the house and can sleep with us or separately depending on your requirements. Although I have specified one dog per stay, I am happy with 2 dogs if they already live together If you make an enquiry and decide not to continue with it, would you be so kind as to let me know.
