Our children are grown and our dog passed away so we love having a dog around the house again. We will treat your dog like a part of our family. We are especially suited for older dogs since we have no other pets. He/she will be welcome at our house and on the furniture to snuggle up with us if they so desire! We often dog sit for our adult son's dog and we do pet sitting for neighbors and relatives. We have a cable in our backyard for outside time. We do not have a crate, so if you think you need one for your pet (especially overnight because we do not allow pets on the bed), you'll need to supply one for us. At this time we only have weekend availability as we both work full time.
