I am 23 years old and have grown up with dogs my whole life. I just got a puppy of my own that is now 9 weeks old. It has reminded me how much I enjoy dogs and being around them. They just lighten the room and I love it. I am in great shape and love to take dogs for long walks and teach them new things. I am a very happy person and would love to be able to love your dog for you when you are not available. My mother has a german shepherd that I often watch for her. This requires feeding, letting out, giving medication, and staying over sometimes. I enjoy watching my mothers dog very much and I know I will enjoy watching other's dogs as well.
