I have had pets since I was a kid and never stopped having them much to the contrary of what the sane choice would be. I also occasionally foster for the organization One Tail at a Time and for the Humane Society when I have the bandwidth to take on the task. (I do not foster if I am boarding and vice versa) Your dogs are my dogs when they stay with me and are treated like my own. So hopefully they love a good face mask and a Netflix binge. I live 10 minutes from the airport which makes for very easy pick up and drop off. I have a fully fenced large yard, with lots of trees for shade and dogs are never left outside alone. It's also full of squirrels that live in the trees and will likely blow your dogs mind. My street also dead ends into a park that is great for dog walks. I also have a pool that is currently covered until the weather warms up. The cover is strong enough for me to walk across it with ease so your pets are safe, my dog actually sunbathes on it. I will send you all the photos and videos your heart desires, and at least one of each per day unless you're like hey, it's vacation I don't want to cry over how much I miss my dog so please don't remind me. In which case I'll send all their cuteness to you at the end of their visit. I only take 2 dogs (or one family) at a time, so your dog is getting all the attention it deserves and are not overwhelmed by a pack of random dogs. I take small breeds (and have two small old dogs of my own). I do accept mid size dogs if their temperament is manageable and if they are adorable (which spoiler alert, they are) I do not accept aggressive dogs or dogs that have attacked anyone. Dog walks in my neighborhood always mean crossing paths with other dogs because of the park, so safety is the priority.
