I have 3 dogs of my own , but there is a separate area for a boarded dog , and a private fenced in area separated from my dogs if the owner is more comfortable with that .my oldest daughter is planning on going to college next year to become a vet and have volunteered at homestead animal hospital for several summers . We are available anytime someone is always home and ready to give attention and love to another family’s dog :) our only Preference is that your pet is crate trained and can sleep in the crate at night . I had 3 Kids that are 18 ,15 , and 7 . We have always had dogs and they are part of our family
