I've never known a life without dogs. Since the day I was born until today, a dog has always been by my side. I know how difficult it is finding a trustworthy caretaker for your four-legged (or three-legged!) family member while you're away - I've experienced those set of anxieties myself. Boarding facilities are great, but what happens in the evening hours when everyone goes home for the day? I'm always home, I have concrete floors, so if accidents happen - no biggie. I also have two well mannered dogs of my own. My children are very mindful of the animals, but due to their summer camp schedule and activities, they will not be in the home during the morning and afternoon hours. It will be just me and the dogs with plenty of room to run and relax in the A/C.
