Hi there fellow Fido parents! My name is Lauren and I have two dogs here in South Carolina and one back home in Indiana with my family. They're family to me so I know how much your furry friend means to you. I live in Spartanburg and work in Greenville at BringFido, a pet friendly travel service. My home is very dog friendly! My 11 year old schnoodle, Mr. Peabody Coaltrain resides there with me. Peabody feels he is required to growl (his way of talking) upon first meeting all other dogs, but he quickly adapts and loves to be with them. If your dog can be very aggressive they may not like his "hello" and may not be a good fit. Peabody doesn't play much, but he doesn't mind a dog that likes to. I also have a 7 lb Toy Schnauzer, Lil' Guy Murphy. He likes to play with all dogs despite their size. I usually put my dogs in a bedroom or outside when other dogs come in so your dogs can explore a little and not feel overwhelmed by the welcome committee before they meet. My husband, Jon is usually around and loves dogs just as much as I do. Between the two of us we make sure the dogs are let out several times throughout the day and receive plenty of attention. When dogs come to stay with us our time revolves around them! We enjoy it so much. I will watch dogs from multiple families at once as long as I feel they will all fit with the group. Aggressive dogs will likely not fit in well. I can keep small dogs who need their space separate, but it's a little more difficult with large dogs. I live near the Cottonwood Trail in Spartanburg, and love taking Peabody for walks there. I'm also not far from the Rail Tail Park if your dog enjoys time running free with others. Of course where we go and what we do is completely up to you and your pup to decide. Our backyard is fenced with room for your pup to run as well. I promise to look after and care for them as if they were my own family. You can check out all of my four-legged friends or keep tabs on your pup while you're away by searching @sparklecitypets on Instagram.
