I was a dog owner for 13 years. I have watched many dogs in my air conditioned home, Simply safe protected home for family and friends in the past. I let them have the run of the house and never cage them, even if I have to leave to run out for a few minutes. I allow them to join me on my sofa and if they come on my bed, that's OK too. Being retired, I'm home most of the time and I'm able to let them out in my yard whenever they want. I always keep water outside as well as in the house in the summer. Feel free to bring their own bedding and toys to make them feel more at home. I send pictures of your pet to you while you are away and you can call me anytime to see how things are going. You can be sure your pet will be cared for just like you care for them. Bookings must be a minimum of 4 days. In good weather, I allow dogs to play in the fenced yard and play fetch with them if they like. I keep water outside during the warm summer weather for your pets comfort. I have a fenced yard which gives complete security. I'm home the majority of the day, so I can let dogs out whenever they want.
