I love dogs, and have one of my own....a beautiful Great Dane (so your dog must be dog friendly if staying at my place). My house is clean and comfortable, centrally located, and has a large fenced yard. There is a beautiful dog park within walking distance of my house. My dog and I are friendly and down to earth.....pretty low-key......she gets a grain-free diet and treats. She's gotten a little slower in her old age, but is dog friendly and loves walks. Your dog will be treated as if they were my own and given lots of love and attention. Special diets and medication are not a problem. Your dog would not be left alone for more than 4 hours, with plenty of potty breaks and play time.
