I absolutely love animals. Have had animals around me since BIRTH. Had 3 dogs growing up, a bird and lots of hamsters. Love to have a Zoo at my house. I watch my parents dog all the time. And have house sat for multiple people over the years. Love all the fur babies!!! I currently am a full time mom of 4 but still take a walk with my dog 1-2 times a day. Big backyard with lots of time to give your pet all the attention they require Fully fenced in yard with plenty of spots for them to play. I have 4 kids and a dog. Our kids are respectful of your animals space and our dog will be a great playmate. Safety of your dog is #1 priority. Would prefer if you brought a crate so they have a space to go to during meal times. Will send lots of picture updates of your dog having a great time. :)
