Raised with dogs big and small from the age of 5. We have owned dogs off all ages and sizes with various care needs. Spoiled every dog like they were our own babies. Both employed full time with opposite schedules so someone is always home. Can be flexible to work on rotating work schedules. There is no typical time we will be away from home with varying work schedule. No dogs in the home currently. A yard to run around in along with a walking trail near by to walk your dog like they are our own.
