We are a dog-loving, professional couple that would love to take care of your buddy while you're away. We do not have kids. There is at least one of us home 90% of the time (except date nights out and errands), so your pet will rarely be alone. We have a great walking path in our neighborhood if your pet likes. I've owned dogs all my life. My wife and I currently have a Shih Tzu named Kimba. He is active, sweet and mischievous. He loves company. He does well with all dogs, but especially likes bigger, playful dogs. Unless by your request, your furbaby will not be caged and will be given the run of the house. Depending on size, they are also welcome to sleep on the furniture, bed or wherever else they're comfortable. We welcome the opportunity to provide care to your furbaby. There is usually at least one of us home during the day. We both work from home most of the time. Rarely will your pet be alone. Our home is their home. They are allowed free range unless otherwise specified. We do not cage our guest, unless specified. They will be taken outside every couple of hours to enjoy the sunshine.
