I do have a dog of my own. Her name is Whinnie,she loves other dogs and is more than happy to share our home and walks with new friends of all shapes and size. However if you would prefer to keep them separate I can arange that too. I also have plenty experience with potty training and dietary restrictions . So any special attention that may be needed is no problem! I am currently a student at the university, so I have plenty of time during the day to play with any lonely puppies, as they wait for you to return. We also make frequent trips to the dog park & love to go on long walks on the bike trail! Hope to hear from you soon!!
