As a couple we have a dog and cat and love to spoil them. We've had pets for most of our lives. Currently have a senior dog and give him oral meds 3x/day so no problem doing the same for your fur baby if needed. We have a large, fenced yard and do not apply chemicals on it. While at our house your dog would get frequent potty breaks and be allowed to sniff to his/her heart's content. We would always make sure your cat stayed inside and out of harm's way outside. Can make home visits and/or take your dog for walks. Our pets are always current on flea and tick medication so no worries about your baby picking them up from ours. If we visit your home we would treat it with the same care and respect that we treat our own home. Our bottom line is that we love animals and will always do our very best to keep them safe and happy.
