I have had three dogs for the past 13 years and unfortunately they have passed on over the years. We miss our dogs very much and we would love to give all the attention and affection to your little family member while you our out of town. I'm a stay at home mom of three ages 3-10 . I live in a house with a big yard with a pool. I also have a gated area on the side of the house if you are uncomfortable having your dog around the pool area. Your dog will mostly be indoors he will only be in the backyard for potty breaks. I also have snacks,toys,sleeping beds, and a lot of love to give. Your furry friend will be in good hands .
