Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced back yard. I have 3 dogs, friendly dogs for them to play with. My dogs have plenty of toys in the back to play with. I have a garage and a spare bedroom I can put crates in so they are inside. I can go over and spend time with them for a bit throughout the day. I do have a family so I would prefer to stay at my house with them.

Information Matthew N. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. So my wife and I try to give the dogs plenty of time outside. They will have plenty of time to go pee or poop. If they pee or poop in the house,(its not big deal, i dont mind cleaning it up, but i'd prefer them go outside.) There may be a extra fee if they pee or poop in the house. Maybe $20-$30. Thats enough for me to buy some cleaning supplies, specially for my deep cleaner.

A typical day

Typically I let the dogs outside early in the morning, when I wake up. I clean the water bowls and refill them with fresh water. I sit on my porch swing and will relax for a little while. They are more than welcome to bring toys to play fetch with. I will play fetch for a good while if they want. They can play outside with my dogs, and chase and run around with each other. We can go inside and relax and lay around in the AC. They are fine to lay next to me and I will give them scratches for a while. My wife and I will normally make sure the dogs do out very often so they have plenty of opportunities to be outside and running their energy out. We have a guess bed room they will stay the night in. If they may tear things us, they will sleep in the cages. My dogs most the time sleep also in their cages. My wife will sit on the couch and read and let the dogs lay next to her. The dogs will have plenty of time to run, play, relax, and enjoy themselves while staying at our house.

Pet care experience

Hello, I'm married with a beautiful wife and daughter. I grew up with dogs of all breeds, I had a few Pits, Bulldogs, Labs, Germany Sheppards, English mastiff, Chihuahuas, Schnauzers. I'm a Medic in the Army. I enjoy playing with my dogs and meeting new ones. I can train dogs in the basics, sit, lay, crate training, and potty training. I like being around animals of all ages. Puppies are cute and energetic, but I also like to just sit around and chill with an older dog!
