I do not have a fenced in back yard, but we do have a long tie out for our dog and our backyard is the rock river (in case you have a water loving dog). Our dog does great off leash in the yard, we just have it for back up. Your pet will be let outside for potty breaks by leash or on the tie out in case they are pee shy on a leash by someone they aren’t familiar with. We have a large crate in the house that we put our dog in when we are at work, but other than that, that it the only time it’s used. If your pet needs to be created at night we have a jumbo sized crate. Your pet will never be lonely and will get lots of attention from our son and our VERY social mixed breed pup who is 4! She is obsessed with dogs of all kinds. I am also available for dog walks and drop ins if you are gone longer than you’d like to be away from your fur baby and you need them to be let out for a potty break. If you have cats or caged pets and you’re gone for an extended period of time I would love to come by to give them enrichment for drop ins! Pups that are chewers I am very seasoned in what to look out for and how to prevent it.
