My wife and I have taken care of dogs since we were kids and currently have 2 goldendoodles, 2 and 3 years old. Over the years friends and family have asked us to help watch and take care of their dogs while they are away. We currently work from home part of the time and our dogs are able to use the dog door to go in and out of the house as they please. At least one of us is home during the day and is able to care for the dogs as needed. We have a fenced yard with a doggy door. Our dogs love playing with other dogs and are not animal aggressive. We crate our dogs at night and prefer for your dog to be crate trained as well. We have a security camera in the backyard as well to make sure they are safe.
