Hello! I'm joining this site because I can't get my own dog yet (I'm a graduate student), but I need dogs in my life. I grew up with huge, lovable rottweilers and a very adorable labrador so I'm very comfortable with big dogs. I also have had multiple cats throughout the years and I love them as well. I really enjoy being outside and have always loved taking my dogs to the park, the beach, on runs through the neighborhood, and on hikes. Additionally, I have roommates who are also counting down the days until they can get their own dogs so any dog that stays at our place is going to receive a ridiculous amount of love and cuddles. I've often pet sat for friends and family members, including checking in, giving medicine, staying overnight, and any other services they may need. I feel very comfortable with any type of animal (my cousin has a massive rainbow boa so I think I'm immune to anything). Basically, I need your dog to keep me sane through graduate school at UCLA. Dogs are positive, loving, amazing animals and I would love to spend time with any dog you may have. Thank you!
