Let me know if your dog has any special needs or wants while staying at our home. Do they need to be fed alone? Are they ok with stairs? Do they have any allergies? Do they need to be on a leash while outside? Also include things or habits you do not want them to have - example our dogs are allowed on furniture if yours isn't let us know.

Pet care experience

For as long as I can remember, We have always been around and loved animals. We love all dogs!! We have fostered for local rescues and also for friends and family who needed help with their dogs. Longest we rescued a dog was for about 1 year long. Are dogs adapt pretty quickly to new furr friends/visitors. We have an underground fence, which our dogs wear special collars. When we have guests we use a leash or tie out.
