Hi pet parents :) I know leaving a pet in someone else's care is sometimes hard, you want to feel comfortable about where your little darlings are while you're away. My home is loving and animal friendly. We have five friends at home, two hermit crabs and 2 leopard gecko, and we also we have one cat, so your dog will need to be able to endure a feline. I have been a pet sitter before and worked with animals who require lots of love and attention. I ask that there be a crate for overnight guests or in case of emergency. We don't require that your dog sleep in a cage, but it might become necessary if there are other dogs present. There are children in the home, it is a very cozy, very lived-in environment! Your dog will be relaxed and comfortable here!
