My husband and I have had dogs our entire lives, and have recently just added a cat to our collection. We recently just said goodbye to our beloved Basset Hound of 18 years (He died at the old age of 22- a testament of how much we cared for him as a member of our family.) We are looking to treat your dog like a member of our family for his short visit. Your dog will enjoy space to run around in our fenced off backyard, and at least 1 person home for a large part of the day to play with him/her, feed, and take on walks. In addition, we will customize the dog's visit to the preferences of their owner. If your dog is allowed on the furniture, we will allow him/her on the furniture. And if not, we will not either. Every visit is completely customizable to the preference of the owner. We just adopted a 1 year old mini pincher. She loves playing with other dogs.
