Please note we keep dogs up to 70 lbs. I am a true dog lover, I love that I get to play with your doggies. I treat every one as my own. I do my best to keep the routine as close to what you do at home as possible. We have a huge fenced back yard with lots of shade. I am very careful about leaving guest dogs alone together. I am willing to work with older and sick dogs I feel like they deserve to be as comfortable as possible in their old age after providing us years of joy its the least we can do :) My teenage grand kids live with me, they love dogs as much as I do. They are very knowledgeable on how to act around dogs if your little doggie doesn't like kids around them that's OK we will make sure they have a space they are comfortable with. I am a firm believer that a healthy diet and daily exercise make for balanced dogs. We have a doggie door so the dogs are able to go out when they need to. I am committed to making sure your doggie is safe and happy. We are pretty laid back and flexible if there is something your dog wants or needs I can usually accommodate. I ask that you put flea protection on your dog at least a week before they come. Please check the calendar for availability. Thanks so much Renee There are other dog lovers in the home so your fur baby will get a lot of attention. I have a huge back yard for them to play in. Unless you tell me your doggie is an outside dog we keep them inside most of the time. Of course we do have play time outside. We supervise them closely when guest dogs are together. When they sleep we separate them all. If they like crates they can sleep there or we put them in the bedrooms with us. We have five bedrooms so there are multiple ways to keep them safe at night.
