Our dog is now 7 years old. My husband and I have grown up with dogs. We call our dog our "first born" and we would treat yours with the same love and affection. I am a nurse and have basic first aid experience. We have a fully fenced and locked back yard; the safety of your pet is top priority. We are aware of the dangers they can encounter by "getting into things" and do everything in our power to prevent that. We would love to have your dog with us and treat him or her like our own! I am home 4 days a week in and out of the house with daily activities. My husband works from home most of the time. it is rare no one is home. We enjoy walks! Two Children age 3-6 that are aware of boundaries with their animals. We have a fully fenced yard with lots of space to run and play with your and our dog. The ground areas consist of wood chips, turf, dirt area and cement. We have covered areas and sunny spots for dogs to lounge. dogs are allowed indoors and out depending on weather. We usually feed 2x a day about 7am and 5PM but can flex on times, water is always available, and we can let your dog out every 2-4 hours. We have space for your crate or dog bed for sleeping arrangements. We only use durable toys that do not break even when chewed on by large dogs; we want to limit chances of swallowing pieces and creating a medical problem. We walk daily, if unable to we can play in the back yard that has plenty of room for fetch. Can't wait to meet your pup and allow you to have a worry-free stay as you are away.
