I am a professional (with a day job) living in the South Harvey Park/Bear Valley neighborhood. I work downtown, but my fiance works from home so someone is home all day. We have a fenced in back yard with lots of room to play. We do require any dogs visiting to be crate trained and the owner must bring the crate. We crate our dogs when we leave the home. Unfortunately, we've had a few guests mark in our home so we do require crating when we leave the house for errand and what not. My dogs and I would love to share our home with your pet while you are away. My 13 year old terrier mutt Tucker and my 4 year old yorkie/mix Maggie are very friendly and love meeting new dogs. They love to share their toys and yard with new playmates and are just as content as having a rest day and invite your pal to join them in their daily lounging routine. we would love to meet your own pet and help you out when you are out of town.
