I have always had a dog in the household for as long as I can remember. My son and I recently lost our family dog of 16 years. We are not ready for a new dog quite yet but miss having one around. Let us take care of yours and have the piece of mind that they are being played with and loved on while you are gone. We have a huge fenced in backyard. We also love to go for hikes in the park near by or walking in CW. My son loves to play fetch and tug o war with dogs! Willing to continue any training that is going on if instructions and treats are provided. Potty trained is not required but must provide crate and puppy pads.
