I’ve been around animals my whole life, and really miss being around dogs. I frequently ran with my family's golden retriever growing up, and would love to have a companion to exercise with again. I also walk my cat, Juneau, on a leash but it’s less exercise for me and more for him :) I currently care for many of my friend’s animals when they are away. I am an engineer during the day - so my availability is largely in the afternoon (after 5PM) and on the weekends. On Saturdays/Sundays I am usually hiking or doing something outdoors but available in the afternoons. I live in an apartment with a cat, and for now will not be boarding animals at my home. My cat is an escape artist so I am well trained to keep your animal safe at your home or on a walk.
