Hello -I am Robin, I work from home every day so your doggie will never be left alone and will have contact company. I also live behind a park, so I take the dogs there every day to play fetch and just run. I live alone, all my children have moved out and on their own so now my doggies are my children (I promise I am not like a crazy cat lady lol) My home is very peaceful - and the dogs enjoy coming back to my house. With my basket of toys and cozy sleep pads they will feel like princes and princesses while they are here. You will have peace of mind knowing they are perfectly spoiled and loved while you are at work or on vacation.
