I have been a dedicated dog owner and dog-lover since age 8. I have owned a golden retriever for 13 years and an American Fox hound for nearly five years (she lives at home with my parents, which is why I am searching for a companion while at school).I I am currently a full time Masters student at the University of Washington, so I have lots of free time in between classes and on weekends to watch and care for your dogs! I live 2 blocks off of Green Lake. I am very active, I run and walk frequently around the lake and would love to have a dog as a running/walking partner. I would love to care for your dog while you are away!
