I have been caring for pets since I was a child. I've grown up with animals and have four (incredibly spoiled) pets of my own now. My husband and I absolutely love animals, especially dogs. My pets are treated like family. We take them out to eat with us, we take them to the park and on walks regularly. They also sleep with us every night! We have two small friendly dogs and always welcome other friendly dogs into our home! I've always been a person who cannot enjoy myself being away from my dogs for long periods of time because I worry about their happiness and safety. At our home, know your baby will be loved, cared for and will feel welcomed! I am great with special instructions, administering medication, and doing what I can to make my guests comfy! I am home during the day and all weekend, and my husband is home in the evenings so our pets get frequent potty breaks and lots of love and playtime. We do not crate our dogs, they are potty trained and nap on the couch or wherever they please! I am ok with crating dogs and/or can put them in a private room, whatever will make your dog most comfortable. My home is extremely clean, and has an all tile floor, which is so convenient being a pet owner! Accidents happen but I will clean it up right away. You can feel good about leaving your dog with us, I will text pics and updates (if preferred) and you can relax and enjoy your vacation, while your puppy is on his/hers!
