I've lived with a dog in my home since I was born. My husband and I love all dogs- but long and low Basset hounds are our favorite. We taken care of dozens of dogs from all sizes and breeds. We will keep your dog safe and sound while you are out of town! My husband works from home and I am a teacher. We can provide pet care through the day everyday. Daily walks would be easily provided. We have a large fenced yard with a built in doggie door to the house. Large breeds like Boxers can fit through the door. We are willing to teach them how to use the door but will also let them in and out if they can't use the dog door.
