For as long as I can remember I have had a dog, so I know how to interact and love many different kinds of dogs. I have dog sat for many people over the last five years, and love each dog I have the privilege of caring for. I work and my husband is finishing up nursing school. My husband is home more than me, so most likely your dog would not be left alone for long periods of time. We have a two bedroom apartment on the second floor so the dog will need to do well with stairs. Our apartment has a balcony that the dog can relax on when we are home. Our apartment complex is very dog friendly and has a fenced in area where dogs can run and play and a big park right next door for walks. We have three parks/walking trails close to our apartment that we love to visit and walk. My husband also runs three times a week and would be willing to take the dogs with him!
