Large fenced yard and animal lover

Pet care experience

I own 3 small dogs - very sweet and they get along well with other dogs. They are all updated on shots and are on heart-worm/flea/tick preventatives (Revolution). I ask that all dogs that stay in my home are also up to date on shots and preferably on some sort of flea preventative as we go outdoors often, weather permitting. I have owned and cared for a diabetic dog and can give shots or other medicines if needed. I work full time from home so they are able to have frequent potty breaks along with being able to roam free inside my home. I’ve had pets my entire life; rabbits, cats, hamsters, birds, dogs, etc. I love animals and they will be well cared for - I will treat them like they are my own. I have a half acre fenced in yard with shade available for them to run around and play! We also have 1 indoor cat. I have two children but they do great with animals. They love to help with their care and are very loving to all animals. I have several crates and pet beds or you can bring your own if that makes them more comfortable. I always suggest bringing special treats, toys, or blankets to help make their stay easier. I can also take care of cats as well or any other small pets! Please ask any questions you may have! Thank you for your consideration.

Are they aggressive, are they potty trained, do they have separation anxiety, where do they sleep (crate, doggy bed, your bed, etc.)? Any concerns, medications, etc.

A typical day

We typically play in the yard on nice days - throwing a ball, sunbathing, or running around with my kiddos. I usually try to do whatever is best for each individual pet.
