I have had dogs (and cats) all my life and could not imagine a home without one. Although, I have a fenced backyard where my dogs like to get some fresh air and sunshine they also enjoy their daily walks around the neighbourhood. My mom and I live together and make a great team as she likes to pamper her dogs with treats and tender loving care whereas I look after their exercise and potty breaks! Other team members include my kids, a young adult and a teenager, who both love dogs and love to play with them. Rest assured your beloved fur babies will not be lacking for love and attention in our home. If I could speak doggie language I would say to your dog "mi casa es su casa" (my house is your house). ***pick up should be roughly 24 hours after drop off give or take 2 hours although this is flexible for longer stays and extenuating circumstances ...i*****Ask about our extended stay rate for longer stays.......thank you for your understanding***
