I am a high school math teacher, mom of two children (6 and 8), and a lab mix rescue (1.5 years old). I love dogs of all sizes and ages and have had pets in my home for the last 15 years. If your dog is staying in my home, I have a large fenced yard with a grassy area and plenty of green space for play and a walking trail for walks close by. My home has lots of tile so dogs/puppies are given free range of the house and lots of interaction between my kids and other pets. I do have pet play pens and crates available if you prefer utilizing them during your stay (just let me know) and all dogs are fed in separate areas. Puppies and dogs of all personalities (high energy, cuddly, relaxed, elderly, etc) are definitely welcome in our home! My dog loves to play tug of war and wrestle with those dogs willing but she also respects dogs that just want to be left alone. I have a large pet door for dogs to use if they feel comfortable. Dogs become part of my family during their stay here and are given extra love by myself and children so they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I send pic updates during the stay just to give owners extra peace of mind as well. I look forward to spending time with your fur babies!
