Needs and animals

1 Dog

We have a shepherd mix dog, he is a rescue and pretty low maintenance as he enjoys spending his days sleeping in various spots around the house and is happy to be left at home during the day or evening, so you can explore the area. He can be nervous around strangers and other dogs so requires walking once a day locally in the woods surrounding the house away from other people and other dogs. Though we have two young children ourselves we feel that Steve would be happier with people either with no children or older children.

Accueil très chaleureux, repas italien préparé à notre attention pour notre arrivée. Les instructions étaient bien préparées et très claires. Nous n'avons donc eu aucun soucis durant le séjour. Steve est vraiment un amour de chien à garder, adorable, obéissant, attachant. Bref nous avons passé un super séjour. Merci Emily.
