I have had dogs most of my life. I had a childhood dog and got my own puppy in my early 20's (Jaxon). When i was 10yrs i began horseback riding and worked at a few different barns into my 20's and cared for both horses, farm dogs and client's dogs. Animals have been a big part of my life and i love having them around. When my husband and I met I took on his dog also. I have watched neighbors dogs and dogs of both family and friends. My husband too has had dogs around him ever since he lived on his own, and is truly great with them. We have had to say goodbye to both of our beloved family dogs, Beans and Jaxon, within a 2 yesr span, and our house is now far too quiet. We'd love an opportunity to care for your dog while you are away. Our kids are 9 & 10 yrs and have much experience already with dogs. They will be involved with the dogs also, but never left alone with them. We live near great trails in a very dog friendly neighborhood. We hope to give your dog a home away from home! My husband works mostly from home and I do shift work. We have a very flexible schedule. We will try to maintain whatever schedule you already have with your dogs. We have a fenced in yard and live in a very dog friendly neighborhood. We are very flexible to your dogs's needs and look forward to making them comfortable in our home.
