I've been taking care of dogs and cats since before I could walk. My mother was a handler for obedience show dogs so our house was always full boysterous animals and eventually the local rescues learned we just could not say no to an animal in need. I've cared for dogs of every shape and size, from a dachshund jack russell mix all the way up to a an Irish Wolfhound with a bad foot. Now my wife and I live in our own house and have two beautiful dogs and a cat, and while we always want to open our home to more furry paws, sometimes that just isn't in the cards. So instead we figure why not give other folks fur monsters a relaxing place to vacation to. I work from home and set my own schedule so I am always around to make sure your loved ones are always being entertained. Our Yard Our yard is not the most impressive you'll see, we have two 7 x 4 foot sections of backyard connected by a strip around the house with a six foot wooden fence. Your dogs will have ready access to this, but will not be left unattended outside. The Backyard also has gated access to a larger unfenced grass area behind our home.
