I've probably already asked to pet your dog :) I've had pets since I was a child and understand how stressful it can be to leave your pet when you need to go out of town. They're in good hands at my cozy apt near the dog park. I also run/walk most mornings and evenings and would love a canine companion to join me on those. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes and will treat your pet as if it were my own. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats as well as animals with special needs. I don't work from home but my schedule is flexible and your pet won't go long without human companionship in our apartment between myself and my fellow dog-loving roommate.
