We are an energetic family of six, who completely adore dogs. We have a very flexible schedule and are usually home most of the day. This is because we home school our kids thus there are always plenty of helping hands to give love and attention to your dogs. My daughter, who is 15, had always wanted a dog ever since she was little. Two years ago we finally got one, and we were hooked. :) All my children love animals, especially dogs. We would feel incredibly privileged if you would consider letting us watch your precious pet. About our pets: The only pet we have is a dog, named Shadow. She is a Golden Retriever/Border Collier mix and is very good with other dogs. We have previously watched friends dogs, and my husband has grown up with dogs his whole life. About our Yard: Our whole property is 1/2 an acre, and our backyard has a fence. The kids have a swing set, treehouse, and a trampoline. (which we take down in the winter) Right next to our house is a path, which is approximately a mile long encircling a large field. This is usually where we walk the dogs.
