I have grown up with dogs and absolutely love them. I also have fostered dogs in the past. We are a pretty low-key home, so the animals have free range. I do have three children under five so your animals must be OK with small children, while I don't allow my kids to crowd the dogs, they do like to pet and play them. we have a fenced backyard that the dogs are allowed to run around in . I can also take your dogs for walk later in the evening. My children tend to drop food or give the animals food so you must be OK with little snacks here and there where your pups. We will take care of your dogs like family and treat them just like ours, I know how important it is to have someone take care Of your animals when you are not there.
