We are family who has enjoyed dogs for many years. Ruth studied pre-vet (B.S. degree) and is comfortable giving dogs medication and will be able to know if your dog is feeling well. Our teenage son help take care of our adopted dog (2 years old) who loves to play and has an easy going nature. Puppies who are not yet housebroken will be considered with additional $10 per night charge. We have a nice yard in a quiet neighborhood where your dog can play with ours. We live a block from a park withaccess to bike and walking trails and a small woods where we usually walk our dog. Our youngest family member is 11 years old so there are no little ones to worry about. We have a cat who usually stays upstairs with a pet gate to keep the dogs out.
