I am a part-time RN and professor who lives in a brick ranch with my husband, Sam. We have a large backyard enclosed by a brand new 6-foot high fence, which is ideal for dogs of all sizes. We have 2 indoor kennels available, if needed. In terms of your pet’s routine, we are happy to be guided by the owner’s knowledge of their pet's habits and schedules. For most dogs that stay in our home, we go for at least 2 walks/runs per day, with plenty of play-time/retrieving time in the backyard. We live 1/2 mile from a nature preserve and exercise trail for dogs that like to go on extended hikes or runs. My house has lots of dog toys and comfy dog beds for rest and play during the day. We provide regular updates and pictures of your furry family members while you are away.
