I am a dog lover and have owned dogs all of my life. I currently do not have a dog and have lots of doggy love to spread to your pup when you are out of town or working. While in my home, your dog will get lot's of attention since I do not work during the day. Your pet will be able to exercise and socialize with other dogs at the nearby Boston Common or at the South End Animal Rescue League. I am also close to the esplanade and can take your dog on longer walks if they have extra energy. My apartment is on the first floor, so you don't need to worry about your older dog walking up and down stairs.
