I have had animals in my household my whole life. I love all animals and care very much about their wants, needs and keeping them happy. I have experience walking, playing with and giving affection to dogs and cats. I grew up with a yellow lab who I stayed with when my parents where out of town and when I was home visiting. I live in an apartment, but with many outdoor walking areas and parks. I used to run cross country in college so I am able to run with a dog as well. I'm happy to help with any special needs and requests. I am new to this site but not to taking care of dogs! Please let me know if you have any questions!
