We have many acres for your dog to come and play with our 4 year old golden retriever and two toddlers. On the weekends are we home and are able to let out dogs who may need more frequent potty breaks. During the weekdays, we are gone 8 hours/day and the dog will need to be in a crate. Both kids and our golden retriever enjoy other dogs and will be sure to receive lots of love while you are gone. We do not have cats indoors but a couple barn cats that roam the property and are dog friendly. In the hot months we usually have the kiddie pools setup for the dog to cool down and relax. We would treat your dog the same as we would want ours if boarded overnight.
