Both Melanie and her son were great and showed that they cared about Bowser's well being and also followed his food schedule well. He was very happy when I picked him up.

Safety, trust & environment

Although I don’t have a fenced area at my apartment complex I do have plenty of space to walk and we can always go to a park enjoying the scenery.

A typical day

I would take your dogs to the dog park to run around and have fun with other dogs. I thoroughly love the park where it’s nature inspired. Even if I have a laid back dog I’m okay with the dog laying beside me in bed.

A dog/cats temperament is very important. I need to know if any animal can mesh with me and we learn and get to know each other.
