We are an active and loving family that will take great care of your dog while you are away. We have kind children that love dogs and a big backyard that your dog can use anytime. Your dog can have constant attention if it wants, but there is plenty of room for him/her to have some peace and quite if desired. We love dogs and would be truly excited to have your dog stay with us. We are animal enthusiasts, and over the years we have shared our lives with many wonderful furry and feathered friends. We have cared for all types of dogs large and small, young and old, and some with very special needs ie., blindness, deafness, and severe eczema. We do not currently have a dog of our own, but we love to have dog visitors and pamper them while you're away. We are a homeschooling family and your dog would be with us all of the time except on the rare occasion that we do something where dogs aren't allowed ie. going to a movie. About our yard: We live on just over an acre and have a spacious backyard that is completely fenced in. Chickens live in one half of the yard, and your dog is welcome there if it’s good with them, otherwise there is a fence separating the hens from the rest of the yard.
