I've had family pets my entire life. As a young professional I don't have the time to dedicate to a dog of my own, but after moving away from home I desperately miss having them around. I have watched animals for family and co-workers and over the years and enjoyed it immensely. I have a full time job so during the week I'm available at lunch time and evenings, but am much more flexible on weekends. My current roommates have dogs who love to play, if you're looking for socialization opportunities for your dog. I also love going to the dog park and live near some trails, so I can also help if your dog needs exercise! My family dog is a 125 pound lab mix named Otis, so I have a huge soft spot for big dogs -- but I love them all!
