I have been around dogs all my life. I have owned them aswell. My pets are like my children even tho I have children of my own. They are treated just like part of the family. Any dog that comes in my home will be loved and treated like one of the family. I'm a working mom Monday - Friday and home on the weekends. I do stop by the house during working hours to take out my pup. If you choose to book during the week I'll do the same for yours. I do have 2 boys 8 and 9 and they love dogs and treat all dog with respect and their own space. We are 100% a dog loving family. Your pup will not want to go home after a retreat at our loving home. (any minor children assisting with care will be supervised by a Rover sitter at all times.)
