How about a couch over a kennel?

Pet care experience

Why leave your pup in a kennel when they can be relaxing on our couch or playing in our fully fenced backyard? If you're looking for peace of mind while you're away, you've found it! My husband and I love love love dogs. We have a spacious and fully fenced, backyard. We can provide both a playful atmosphere or a quiet and relaxing space for your dog. We're used to all kinds of breeds and temperaments as we are experienced fosters with a local dog rescue. We do specialize in sitting older dogs as we have foster and sitting experience with them. We understand that older dogs need a quiet and comfortable place to rest as well as the right level of exercise.

I feel absolutely blessed to have found Julie and her family for my three dogs. They are happy, well taken care of, and I’m worry free while I’m traveling because I know they are in good hands!
