I love pets and have owned dogs, cats and other small animals. I have been a long time animal foster through local rescue agencies. This has made me very familiar with many breeds of dogs and cats. I have also cared for animals who require daily medication, special restriction or specific diets. I have a large fenced back yard, and a golden retriever who is just a big love and gets along well with other dogs and cats. We also recently adopted a kitten. For those dogs that will be staying with us, I keep the dog door open on good weather days so they can go in and out to the backyard as they wish and to spend time lounging outdoors if they want to. If they prefer to lounge inside there is a large dog bed and you can always bring theirs to lay on as well! The animals will be around my kids who also love animals and will give furry friends lots of attention I am home most of the day and the dogs just hang out with us wherever in the house! They play in the house or out back and normally just do their normal activities I have a fenced backyard and a dog that love to play with their new fur friends. I also can kennel the dogs inside the house when I leave to make sure they are comfortable and safe. I normally ask you to provide a blanket so they can be reminded of home and familiar smells.
