Your pet would spend most of its time with me and my kindergarten aged children in the main living area of our home. Your pet is treated like family, and lives and plays where we do! We cuddle up on the couch together and play in our fenced in backyard together. Your pet should be comfortable with young children, and likewise, my children are very respectful and caring with all animals. For the safety and comfort of your pet, please bring their crate for short times I must leave home, as well as overnight stays. They are kept indoors, free roaming, with me during the day and let out to the backyard to potty. When crated, they will always be indoors. Your dog must be able to crate at bedtime for overnight stays, as my young children may awaken in the night, and it’s best that neither of us startle each other in the dark. I keep the outdoor time strictly to the safety of our fenced & gated locked backyard. I do not take the dogs on neighborhood walks to prevent unsafe or unwanted interactions with other dogs that may cross our path. My home is a clean and safe environment in which you can trust your pet will be treated and cared for like part of the family. My hope is that your dog feels at ease and happy, just like at your home.
