Chuck and I are retired and have always loved dogs. We both grew up with dogs and have owned and loved some of the best dog characters ever. We have also had dogs with special needs and have seen them through illnesses and surgeries. We are very aware of any safety concerns for dogs and monitor this closely. We adopted both Rocco and Lily from rescue groups. We have a fenced-in yard and we also go on daily walks (weather permitting). I am confident your dog will have a great stay with us! We take our pups on two walks every day. We are able to hang out with our dogs for most of every day. We love our pups! We will follow the needs you specify for your pup. We can accommodate most requests. We will treat your sweet dog as our own. We love caring for our dog stays. My husband and I are both retired so we can be around to accommodate your pup’s schedule. If we leave it is usually for no more than for 3-4 hours. We have a fenced yard and monitor the dogs when they are out. We have dog beds and also allow dogs on our furniture if they are used to this.
