Kennels are not personal. Our boys are our children. We do have a doggy door with a fenced yard. I do Kennel/Crate my dogs anytime I leave my home (for safety) and will do the same for yours. Will consider medium sized dog depending on temperament. Because I have 3 of my own small dogs, I will only accept dogs of same temperament. Zeus and Odin are seniors and Cinder is young and respectfully playful. Happy to take senior dogs of any size and dogs with special diet as our boys are on special diets as well. I am very familiar with diabetic dogs and am comfortable administering medications. When your on vacation you can be sure your pet will be well cared for. Hope to meet you soon.
