I’ve had dogs in my life since I was around 10 years old. My wife has done house and pet sitting for dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens and birds! We are very responsible and will treat your dog like our own. We know how it feels to leave our dog in someone else’s care and will be very communicative, texting and sending pictures to let you know how your love is doing. My wife currently works from home most days. She has virtual meetings and occasionally goes into the office but not for more than 4 hours. We live in a quiet neighborhood on a cul-de-sac with a good sized fenced in yard. We can play with your dog or take it for walks as needed or let them run free in the yard. Our 13 year old son is very mature and also a dog lover. We also have a 9 year old Mini-Schnauzer named Basil. She has a calm demeanor and is not aggressive. She will bark when she meets a new friend but it is just her way of saying hello. We have a 15 hear old cat named Augusten who pretty much keeps to himself.
