I work from home and have one small dog ( Brewster 23 lbs ) and two medium dogs (Lola - 37 lbs & Sade 31 lbs ) that get plenty of attention all day. My dogs eat twice a day and drink lots of water in between and since I work from home, they get frequent bathroom breaks. In addition, we live near walking trails that we explore daily ( as long as weather is good ). I have a fenced back yard with lot of space that they use to run and play in through out the day. I don't leave them outside unattended, if I can’t be outside with them, I monitor them from my camera. I never leave them outside if I have to run errands. My dogs love to have friends visit so boarding is the perfect opportunity for them to interact with other dogs other than the dog park.
