A loving stay ...

I love all animals. I am taking dogs or cats to stay overnight. I work from home and live in a house with a small fenced yard. I have a small cat that has grown up with a dog and a small puppy. I live in a nice neighborhood for dog walks and I do need the exercise myself. Just bring the toys and the crate, and the food and your dog will have a great stay with me! I can also take cats in if I have no other dogs. There might be 1 or 2 animals at a time in my house. Ask me any questions! I look forward to meeting your pet. I work full time at home from 8 am to 5 pm. I work Monday through Friday. I do not work on the weekends. Thanks! I have a fenced in yard. I do prefer that the dog stays in a crate overnight he can accommodate other arrangements on a case by case basis.

Rita send cute pics of their activities during the day, regular messages, and our dog had such great playtime with her Pomeranian puppy.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard but do not leave animals alone outside. My house is pretty safe. I keep the animals in sight at all time but usually let cats roam friendly. Dogs stay downstairs.

Pets

A typical day

I will take the dogs for walk and also take them out in the backyard to play. I can provide some toys but do recommend that you bring some.

Let me know if the dog has any weird quirks. I have a small Pomeranian that is really looking for a friend to play with!
