Fenced in Backyard Great for Play

I am a proud mom of two rescue dogs (Apollo and Stella) and two kids, my daughter (Isabel) and my son (Jack). I have had dogs my whole life. Animals are a passion of mine. I have experience with everything from puppies to seniors and also dog training. I have a fenced backyard which has been great for getting my dogs acquainted with other dogs and it gives them the space they need to run around. I am also at home most of the time. My husband and I work from home and have few errands to run throughout the day. Apollo is a 45lbs German Shepherd/ Basset Hound mix and Stella is a 9lb Chihuahua so I am accustomed to dogs of varying sizes. Both dogs, especially Apollo, love other dogs! I am a real estate professional who works from home most of the time. Because I have two dogs myself, I am letting them out often and I get to spend a lot of time with them. I have a large wooded fenced in yard. My dog, Stella is friendly but likes to snuggle up with me more than playing with other dogs, while Apollo loves to play with other dogs. He’s young and energetic so he will keep your fur baby entertained. My dogs sleep in our bedroom and are crated when we leave the house. Wherever your fur baby is accustomed to sleeping is where I will let them sleep to make sure they keep their routine.

Our pup LOVES to stay with Marissa and her family. He really loves the kids and we love the fact that they let him run. He’s not just kenneled and pinned up for hours on end. They have a welcoming home and a big yard for the dogs to enjoy.

Schedule

My husband and I work from home so I’m usually at home where I can let the dogs out often. My two kids go to a school that isn’t in our district so I leave during the day to go to carpool. Then I’m home to finish work and feed the pups.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and two dogs to keep guest pups company. If your dog is accustomed to being crated, that’s fine. If not, that’s fine too. I do not allow dogs to be together while we aren’t home unless they come from the same family.

Pets

A typical day

My family and I love spending time in the backyard and on the deck on nice days. The dogs get to hang out with us and romp around the yard. Our neighborhood has a nature trail that we like to walk. The trail passes our backyard so the dogs get to greet other neighbors and their dogs as they pass.
