We are a family that loves dogs for most of our lives. Having dogs around makes us happy. Your dog will be like a beloved family member now that we recently lost our 14-year-old dog. You will get the best of both worlds. I bring a calm and relaxing energy while my 12 y.o. son brings a playful mood to the game. The entire family enjoys spending time in the yard and on the backyard deck; although some more than others. Feel free to set up a meet and greet so you can be comfortable when you leave your dog with us. My schedule is updated weekly, and I prefer two-week advance notice. Last-minute requests will be accommodated on an as-available basis. And if you are looking for 7 days, please contact me to discuss if there is some flexibility. I have a fenced-in yard to keep your dog active. There is plenty of room to run around and explore. A crate is available if they need a sense of security. Our house and furniture are pet friendly. They can hang out on the furniture or by the door. I will only watch one dog at a time (two if they are from the same family), so your loved one(s) will get our full attention.
