I have had pets in my life since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. When I was in my twenties I was in the Kewanee Kennel Club, helping out with puppy obedience classes, I bred and raised Keeshonds, plus had and trained coonhounds. I've had fish, hamsters, ferrets, guinea pigs, kitties, on up to horses in my life....loved them all!!! We presently own rescues and I've noticed the lack of a good place for boarding that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, plus the fact that they just kennel them while you're on vacation. I would treat your animals like my own wether they're staying with me, or I visit them in their home. I will take them for walks and have play time daily. Your mind will be at ease knowing your pets are being taken care of while you're at work or on vacation.
