I am home most days and have a very close relationship with my dog and cats. All my animals have the full range of the house, beds, furniture, etc. I bought a house with a fenced yard so that I could have a dog, but he prefers to walk the neighborhood, which we do 4 to 5 times a day. I also take him with me on errands when I can. He has several good friends in the neighborhood who visit often with their people. Dogs that I am taking care of are treated like a member of the family. I want their stay to be as fun and stress free as possible, so that their people can be stress free as well. Thank you.
