My husband and I are animal lovers in general. We have grown up owning animals. We owned a dog together for almost six years and loved her. We had to give her to my grandmother when she nipped my son. Now without having a dog in the house, dog sitting your dogs is the next best thing. My son loves dogs, he is growing up around them and knows not to be rough. (Dogs must be good with kids). My son and I are home during the day and my husband is home with him in the evenings. We don't have a fenced yard so we will walk your dog when it's "time to go". Just bring their food, bed, crate (if they use one), leash/harness, favorite toy (if needed) and proof of up to date vaccines (rabies).
