I have 2 dogs and 2 kids who love to help care for animals. We have a fenced in yard with a doggie door so they can come in and out as they please. Animals are allowed on my furniture. I've been around and owned animals for 30+ years. My 2 dogs are gentle and love all other pets. They have been around many different breeds of dogs and cats. I do work full time but with the doggie door they can go in and out as much as the want. We have an 8 foot cedar fence. Your dogs will be fed at whatever time you want. They can sleep on my bed, the couch or crate if needed. Thank you for your time.
