My husband and I have grown up with pets all of our lives. We pet-sit for our friends frequently. We love animals and would care for your dog like he or she were our own. We have four kids, 3 dogs, and 2 cats. All animals are used to having other dogs in the house. We work most of the day, but someone is usually able to come home for lunch. We have a fenced in backyard that always has shade. We have 2 crates but try not to use them and we don’t like to leave dogs outside unless it’s nice out.
