We have a family, home environment, and my two sons help me out if needed. I read as much as I can to learn about different dog behaviors. I aim to be the alpha of my home. I am a member of Pet Sitters International and also insured through them. I am certified in pet first aid. I do work during the day but have an area inside with a doggie door to a fenced backyard. No crates unless family designates it. Your pets get treated like part of my family. We walk when time and weather permit, we play and we give lots of love. Dogs are all fed separately to avoid any potential food-agression issues. Sadly I CANNOT accept GSD or Chows as I have had issues with both. All other breeds are accepted as long as they are socialized. I do work during the day at a school but the dogs have a fenced in yard with indoor access and always fresh water. They are my focus before and after work and on weekends. Dogs come to my home where they are treated like family. Most of the time they sleep in my living room, crated if comfortable. If they are too hyper or busy, my basement area is also nice with special flooring, blankets, and water
