I've had dogs in my life for more than 20 years. Your pups will be loved and cared for as if they were part of our family. We have 2 dogs. A 90 pound German Shepard mix and a 14 pound Schnauzer. They are both rescues and are very dog-friendly. While my husband was in the army, we hosted many friends' pets so that they could travel or visit family. Our home is very dog friendly with wood floors, leather furniture (easy to clean!), and a dog door leading to a fenced in dog run with sunny deck. My children love dog visitors. If you are looking for a place where your pup will be played with and snuggled the whole time you are away, this is it!
