I have had pets all my life, but got my first dog as an adult about 3 years ago. Since then, I have worked on the dog park committee, becoming the chair & building the Buckhannon Dog Park. We treat our pets like family. The cat and dog are allowed on furniture, they are fed typically when we eat and go many places with us. If I host your pet, I have the option for crating and can separate during feeding if necessary (cat food is separated since Maica enjoys eating the entire dish.) We take trips to the dog park, walks around the neighborhood and sometimes trail hikes. From previous experience, Maica and your pet will play all day and have a blast! I can reinforce basic obedience with your dog as well.
