I give terrific ear-scratches and tummy-rubs, and love a good game of fetch! It's not the right time for us to own a dog yet, so I'm looking for others' pups to love, snuggle, and get outside and play or walk with! I'm a stay-at-home mom with two toddlers who would be delighted to watch your dog play (so please let me know if your dog doesn't do well around kids). Don't worry, there will be no fur-grabbing or tail-pulling. I've had a dog through my childhood and part of my college years. I adopted Lucky, an American Eskimo, from a shelter years ago, and she passed away a few years ago. I'm looking forward to the time when we can adopt another dog, but until then I would love to befriend yours! Aside from play dates, co-op, errands, we're home full time so your fur-baby will become part of our day whether we're playing inside, in the backyard, or walking to the park! If you need to drop off/pick up your dog outside 8:30am-8:30pm, please book the day before/after to fit within those hours, or ask me about an additional payment to accommodate extra early/late times. (eg, if you need to drop off at 7am Wed, instead plan to drop off 8pm Tues) Our backyard is fully fenced! And any time the front door will be opened, we make sure that either myself or my husband is holding onto our furry guest so we don't have any escapees! Outside time will depend on your pet's personality and preference, as well as your instructions. But if it's ever too hot/too cold then outside time will be limited to potty breaks and brief exercise. Unless you have an American Eskimo who loves bounding through the snow like my Lucky used to ha! When it's good weather, we'll all be outside together!
