Overnight stays: We have an extra room downstairs where your dog or cat may sleep for the night on a comfortable couch. I will let your dog out into our fenced in backyard as needed and give him/her food and water as needed. Daytime stays: We have a large fenced in backyard where your dog or cat may roam freely. I will take your dog for walks, provide fresh water and feed him or her the food you bring along. There is a couch in one of our rooms that is pet friendly and your dog may curl up on there as much as they desire. Personal Experience: I grew up taking our family dog for walks and took care of my own cat when I got her as a teenager. Although my husband and I do not own pets, I enjoy animals and I look forward to caring for your dog or cat.
