I have two dogs, a small Malteepoo that lives inside my home and a Great Pyrenese/Hounddog that stays outside in our fenced in backyard or downstairs. Our basement has a doggy door so he can come and go as he pleases, especially during hot or stormy weather. If you wish for your pet to not be around my dogs, this can be arranged as well. I have a plastic pool that I keep outside for extra water, and it is cleaned weekly. Feedings are done in seperate rooms or cages as most dogs can become aggressive while eating. If you would prefer I come to your home, I will adhere to the schedule and routines of your preference, and send photos to update you and allow you peace of mind.
