My husband and I really enjoy dogs and the energy they bring, formerly having a miniature schnauzer and a golden lab. However, we are a bit too active currently to feel we could really do justice to having another full time. So the opportunity to enjoy these furry friends in this way is a major plus. NOTE: based on previous sitter experiences, we are limiting our boarding services to crate trained dogs only. I work from home so have good flexibility throughout the day to do walks, play, and let them go outside. For any dogs we host, we have a very large fenced in backyard and several parks near us that make outdoor play and walks very easy. Our home is mostly one level, requiring minimal to no stairs for older dogs. For dog walking and house sitting, since I work from home, I can pretty easily pop out throughout day to walk dogs as needed and give them some love.
