I am a stay at home mom to my son, and my husband works nights. I have been around dogs and cats for my entire life, there isn't one time where we didn't have at least one dog or cat. I have also volunteered at the Boone County Humane Society. I have a two-year-old Border Collie/German Shepherd mix named Sebastian and a five-year-old cat named Miss (both spayed and neutered.) They are both also
up-to-date on their shots. Sebastian would love a play mate, he loves to run around in our yard and play fetch, and in the summer he gets to run around in the baby pool or run in the sprinkler! My dog has separation anxiety so I want someone to feel comfortable leaving their dog with me if they suffer from the same thing. The first thing I do in the morning is turn on VeggieTales for my son, start my coffee, then Sebastian goes outside to run around. I promise your dog will never be bored here!
I live in a two bed two bath home, but the attic and basement have stair access. The dogs will have free roam around the house but we have doors in almost every room in the house. The bathroom has a child lock on it because it does not latch, but with the child lock it does! That's also where our cat stays to avoid all dogs. I can also shut the hallway door so the dogs only have access to the living room, dining room, kitchen, and entryway to the backyard. Everything is hardwood so there is no carpet to worry about! I will always be playing with them! If your dog usually sleeps with you that's no problem, they can enjoy our bed as well as the couch their crate or wherever else they'd like.
There are parks nearby but I prefer to take the dogs down town, which I live about 10 to 15 minutes from, or we could go to the monon trails. There are not any busy streets that the dogs would have access to. We never use our front door, because we have a garage door that opens inside of the gated area. So if we do happen to go anywhere there will be nowhere for those escape artist to go!
Your dog will enjoy plenty of cuddles, running around in the yard, if it's a warm day they can also enjoy the baby pool and sprinkler, I have a flirt pole that the dogs can also play with and tons of toys and treats!
No breed or size preferences, my dog has been around them all. He may be big but he is a super friendly dog with a big bark! When you arrive for your dog stay I will meet you in the front for the dogs to me, if they get along OK then we could move around to the backyard for them to have some off leash is fun! You're also welcome to walk around to see where your dog will be staying!
