Between myself and my family, there is almost always someone at the house. Rarely would yours dogs be alone here, and bathroom breaks/play time is given very frequently! We have a fenced in yard, and two very friendly dogs who love to play! We have a doggie pool and tennis ball launcher for extra fun. Dogs are welcome to come on furniture and beds as allowed by their owners! I am currently only working part-time, and my husband works an alternating schedule. We love to walk the dogs around our neighborhood as often as we can If crating is preferred, I do have a large crate so you don’t need to haul yours! Our fence is six foot tall and locks from the inside on both gates.
