My wife and I are huge animal lovers, although we call our pets our fur babies (We have a Husky and two cats). I work from home and although I do have to visit clients Mon-Thurs, I am only gone from 10am till 3pm(at the latest). This gives me a lot of flexability and I am able to work around your schedule for walks and stop by visits. When your fur baby comes to stay with us, we have a fenced in back yard for all the playing (and #1 and #2) they would need. In addition, we live in tosa which is extremely walkable. Anything your dog would need we are able to provide. We treat our pets as our kids and will promise to do the same for yours.
