My husband Shawn and I lost our sweet three legged dog, Elliot, and our snuggly cat, Cash (Elliot made it to 15 before a brain tumor finally took him, and Cash came to us with a heart condition that took him after about 8 years with us). We've both had pets for most of our lives. We travel a fair bit, so we aren't adopting any more pets for now. But we really miss having furry friends around when we are home. We are open to two dogs at once but only from the same family. Also we are unable to board dogs that we haven’t met first, so last minute requests for new dogs usually aren’t possible. But happy to accommodate repeat clients whenever we can. We both work from home all day, every day, so your sweet "kids" will get lots of attention from us, and that also means we're very flexible with schedules. We have a good sized fenced yard, and we're looking forward to using walks with visiting dogs as an excuse to take frequent work breaks throughout the day, although only when it's cool enough. We're aware that often the summer sidewalks are too hot for your dogs paw pads. Our furry guests will be able to go out in the grass to do their business as often as they need to, and otherwise will stay cool inside the house with us.
