Our family (my husband, myself, and our four children ranging in age from 10 to 17) not only adores dogs and animals in general, but we have the perfect environment to care for them because we work from home and also home school. This means that there is almost always someone at home. We are used to giving our pets (German Shepherd, two cats, bunny, ball python, and fish) lots of love, attention, and play time, and your precious furry friend will be treated as part of our family while staying with us. As I write this, my daughter asks what I am doing, and when I explain that we are offering temporary care for other people's pets, she asks excitedly, "So you mean, we will get to kiss other doggies and play with them?!!"
