My husband, Corey, and I recently moved to LA from NYC. We have a 2.5 year old golden retriever named Daisy who is far and away the #1 decision maker in our home, and we love how enriched our lives have been since we brought her home. Corey grew up with 4 dogs and we have been Daisy's parents and caretakers since she was 8 weeks old, so we're very familiar with all that can go wrong with a dog! We are extremely affectionate with dogs, and on a regular weekend take Daisy out to run around and play for at least an hour excluding walks. She is usually pooped by the time we get home and when your dog stays with us, we'll make sure that he or she also gets a wonderful day of play and subsequent rest. We think it's always more fun for our pup friends to have playmates, so rest assured that your dog will have a built in playmate, lots of toys (we are BarkBox subscribers and Daisy is great at sharing), and treats.
