Both my husband and I work full-time jobs during the week. So we have availability to host dogs beginning Thursday night up until Monday night for pick ups. We have hosted dogs all week with the understanding that they will be left alone for about 6 - 8 hours but we do have a nearby neighbor that can assist with checking in on pups if the case is that we have your pup(s) on our working days. While home, we are home most of the time or at least one of us is and we allow full access to the home. We have a pretty neat home where if certain pups are not getting along, it's quite easy to keep them separated with good amounts of room that allow your pup(s) to still enjoy their stay!
