Hello there - I am a high school teacher who absolutely loves dogs! I love having dogs around and would love to watch your dog when you can't. I have always had a dog in the house even since I was a small child. I babysit for dogs frequently and enjoy caring for them. As a teacher, your dog will need to be ok with being unsupervised during the school day, but will have lots of attention in the evenings and weekends. I have a good sized fenced-in back yard for your dog to play and I enjoy taking walks as much as your dog! There are stairs down to the back yard so your dog will need to be able to do stairs. Can't wait to meet you and your pup!
