I've had pets of all types my entire life and worked in a small mom and pop pet store for many years. I currently have 2 male resident dogs and 2 resident cats as well as 2 children under the age of 9 who love all animals and are very respectful of boundries for our pets. One resident dog is medically special needs. I have experience giving oral and injection medications as well as sub q fluids. We have a large 6ft privacy fenced in back yard. We love all breeds and look forward to providing you a safe comfortable home environment for your pets while your away. I work full time but only 3 days out of the home. My fiance works outside the home but is home by 3 pm. We are home on weekends. I crate trained my dogs and they see their crates as a positive place. They eat in their crates as to make sure they don't get each others food as one is on a prescription diet for a liver condition. We have tons of toys, a large back yard to run and lots of belly rubs. My children love their dog siblings and are respectful of boundries. They do not hang on, harass, or otherwise intimidate any animals. Your animals will feel at home with lots of love and comfy places to relax. I set up a quiet place in our finished basement to help ease anxiety of a new place. Dobby, our resident dog is a wonderful dog host and will ensure lots of play time. We love all animals in this house. I am also able to take small animals like rodents, snakes and lizards.
