My wife and I don't have kids, our dog is our child, and we'd be happy to have your dog be our temporary child too! We only take 1 dog at a time, to make sure they get the care needed. We have both grown up owning dogs and have 10+ years experience each. We have a dog park 100 yards from our front door of our spacious house, and Buddy the chocolate lab is 10 years old (but very spry for his age), loves all dogs, and is very friendly and gentle. As such, we both have experience with senior dogs, as well as younger and middle aged pups. We work opposite shifts so your dog will never be alone for more than 2-3 hours. Trips to the dog park are frequent, usually every 1-2 hours or so, to give you pup exercise and social time as needed (less if desired, of course). We are very accommodating, so please don't hesitate to ask if you have a concern or question!
