I’ve always had a dog growing up and I believe that a house isn’t a home without a dog. I haven’t had a dog for the past year so I feel like for now this is the perfect way to still enjoy them. I worked at a pet store for a few years as well & absolutely loved it. I was able to engage in all types of animals, even opossums! Although I live in an apartment, my complex has a dog park where dogs can run around and burn off some energy. I have a 5 year old son who has also been around all types of dogs & is very gentle and respectful towards them. I would love to help you care for your dog, from checking in on them throughout the day, going for walks or having sleepovers and cuddling with them!
