Hello! We have three dogs who are definitely members of our family get along well with other pets. We have two teenage boys as well as six and seven-year-old daughters who have been raised with animals all their lives and know how to respect and care for them. Our animals have free roam of the house including access to furniture. We would much rather vacuum consistently than say no to their adorable faces! We are advocates of in-home care over kennels and this is a great way to facilitate that. I'm a fill time elementary education student and work part time (flexible days) as a substitute teacher in the meantime. This is a great way to spend time doing something I love while helping to pay for school. Looking forward to meeting your furry friends!
