I am a stay at home mom of two small boys, a super friendly and energetic shepherd mix, a cat and fish. I have always loved animals, and volunteered when I was younger at dog kennels. Although my yard is not fenced, it backs up to the Pine Hill Preserve, and there is plenty of room for running and fetch if you're comfortable with that. My husband and I are very active and will take your doggie for walks or runs! My dog is very friendly and gentle, and will play with your dog but not aggressively. My sons also have endless energy and I can pretty much guarantee your dog will get all the exercise they need when they stay with us! We treat our dog like family and will do the same for yours!
