I have always had a dog since I was a child. I currently have a lab/heeler mix and he loves to have play mates over! I am available during the week, I do work during the day but am home for 1 hour at lunch. I usually walk my dog during this time and play outside in the yard for a little while. My 3 kids also loves dogs and helping out. I have 2 cats, they do not play with dogs, they usual just do their own thing. They are declawed in front. My dog is neutered. I do keep my dog in a kennel during the day because he likes to chew, if your dog is kenneled trained and you can bring it, that would be great.
