I am home every day as an at-home Dad who home-schools my teenage high-school daughter. We are both animal lovers and will have plenty of time to provide all the care your dog needs. We have a dog door from our kitchen that leads to a fully fenced in back yard that has plenty of grass and shade. We have one cat and one Cavalier King Charles spaniel (15 pounds) who are both eager to meet a new friend at all times. We have looked at the dog kennels before when going on vacation only to find that we would never have felt comfortable to have our dog locked in a crate most of the day. That is why we have had pet sitters who can pet sit in their home or ours take care of our pets when we go on vacation. We have seen how expensive this can be and want to provide this service to other pet owners at an affordable price while providing love and care in the accommodations for your pet.
