I have a nice fenced in yard and live in a ranch home. Your animals can play outside and inside all day—-I work from home so the dogs are rarely at home by themselves. I love them like my own. I prefer my friends to cuddle on the sofa and on my bed—-No crates unless you feel necessary. I love to walk around Creve Coeur lake and prefer to take an animal with me. I promise if your dogs come to me they will sleep when they get home—-for days. I have plenty of references and many happy fuzzy friends. I had 2 dogs of my own and really miss the love and comfort of animals. My house is a happy and cheerful home and I love to share it I do not have children
