We treat dogs like members of the family. We have a 6 year old Japanese chin who is very sweet and gets along with lots of other animals. Your dog will be cared for like it's one of our own. We do not have a yard but we take roughly 3 -30min walks per day and 2-10min walks per day. When watching your pet at our home or yours on the weekends, your dog will never be alone for more than 2 hours.
