I have had animals my whole life. Large and small. I have experience in hand raising puppies and kittens. I also am familiar with handling medications and how to administer them. I am currently employed full-time 4-5 days a week from 7:30am-5:30. I take a lunch normally around noon and go home to let my own dogs out to potty! During holidays, I am usually off and at home cuddling my own pups. We are a family of 5. My husband and I, and our 3 boys. Our boys are all animal lovers as well and will enjoy playing with your animals, while being supervised. We have a large fenced backyard. We also live just a few blocks from a fairly large dog park. We do have 5 dogs of our own. 4 are friendly, 1 is a rescue that was abused and is shy and frightened around unfamiliar dogs and would be kept separate from your pet(s) if we board at our house. We also have a cat, but she is a recluse and hides a lot!
