My family and I have had and loved dogs my entire life - we are all dog lovers! I used to work at a dog store and interacted with all different breeds and personalities. They are all special in their own ways. We have a medium sized (1/4 acre) fenced in back yard. Mostly sunny. We have a two story house but keep a gate across the stairs to keep our girls downstairs because it is all hardwoods and tile and they use pee pads at times. I am a registered nurse and I only work 3 days a week. My days off I am mostly around the house. My husband works 9-4 so on the days I am gone he is only gone for a short time and he comes home for lunch everyday. We love to take our dogs for walks, play with them in the back yard and even take them to the dog park and local festivals. We do not have any children. Flexible pick up/drop off times depending on the day. I would love to send text pictures and updates of your dog during vacation :) Please feel free to ask any questions or special requests as we are pretty flexible. We look forward to meeting you and watching your fur baby!
