I am a stay home mom. I have a 7yr old son and 5yr old daughter and a 3 yr old fur baby Keira. I have had dogs all my life and worked with them whether it was starting out at the pound cleaning up after them and playing with them and then going to vet tech school. Between myself and my kids we ensure that each dog that comes into our home we treat as our own. They all get a lot of play time and cuddle time. My kids also understand that each dog is to be treated with respect and that not all dogs like kids or want them around them all the time. My house is large enough to separate dogs and or kids if needed for down time, special needs, etc. All doggy guests sleep in the same room as my husband and myself whether or not it is in the bed or crate. We do allow dogs on the furniture unless owner asked otherwise. We have more than enough indoor and outdoor toys, even dog pools. You are more than welcome to send a special toy that will not be shared between dogs. Sending anything that will make your fur baby more comfortable in my home is up to you. Dog bed, a t-shirt that smells like you. Just helps your baby. I will do everything In my power to make your baby feel comfortable and at home in my home but it’s still your baby and they want to smell you 😍 I can not take any dogs that are aggressive. I live 10-15 min from dog park with a 3 mile trail around it. There is a beach I love to take the dogs to. Per owner I will take dogs there. I have a large fenced in yard for the dogs to play in.
