Hi am Ben and have grown up around all animals but mainly dogs. My mood immediately improves when i am around dogs. My current roommate has a 2 year old chiweinie that is immediately excited to see me eveytime i come home and i give her as much attention as possible and would do the same for your fur baby as well. I am unfortunately not home between the hours of 7-4pm but my roommate does work at the apartment complex and can be home whenever to give your Dog a potty break or whatever it may be. There is a small fenced in area where i live that will give your pet an opportunity to run around off leash and also a few other parks around that i can take your fur baby to get some of his or her energy out. I would love to be part of your pets life even if it is just for a short stay. I hope to meet you all soon! Take care.
