I have been a pet owner all my life and watched serveral dogs over the years. I've watched dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages, and breeds including Daschounds, Great Danes, and a Portuguese Water Dogs. I work full time 8-4 but only a few miles from my home. This makes lunch time potty breaks easy! My home is very dog friendly, with a a fenced in yard, a lot of grass, and a nice walking path nearby. There is also a spare bedroom, in case your pet needs some alone time. I understand that being away from an owner can be stressful. So I am very cautious with each pet I watch to ensure safety and the pets well being. I do have a cat, but she is very friendly and loves meeting new friends.
