Your dog can be around our daughter (6 years old right now), and our Old English Sheepdog. This guarantees they'll have fun! We are frequent visitors of the nearby dog park and often walk to the playground up the street. Michelle was raised with standard poodles, and we just recently got our own dog, Pip, to be part of our family. We have a fully fenced back yard that is great for the dogs to run around, and give the dogs fully access to the house. We have extra crates - so no need to bring your own (unless you would like to), and have too many toys to play with! We are homebodies and don't leave the dogs home by themselves for long, if at all. We understand that every dog is different with unique personalities and needs, we do our best to maintain the same schedule and rules for your dog as he/she would have at home. We love having more furry friends in our house and hope you consider us to be a part of your dogs life - even if its only for a weekend!
