We have a large apartment in Somerville with dog neighbors, a fenced-in back yard, and wonderful trails around. My mother and I are from Seattle and we would just like some pet company around our busy work schedules. We have dog sat for friends and have been volunteer caregivers for a pet shelter back in Washington. We are both very active people who love to go on walks or take a run, but also love to relax in the evenings with a book out on our front porch (during warmer weather, of course). I work most nights while my mother works normal 9 to 5 hours, and so we would like to have some company while we are at home!
