I grew up with 3 dogs and a cat running around the house, that I frequently took care of by myself. My parents still have one Boston Terrier, and he is practically my child that I am happy to take care of anytime I visit them. I have never met a dog I didn't love and would be honored to spend time with a variety of pooches! I have a very flexible schedule at this time, as I work from home, and I think San Diego, especially my neighborhood, would be a great place for your dog to explore, play, and relax! I live in a spacious one bedroom apartment that is dog-friendly in UTC/La Jolla Colony. I will respond very quickly if you want to keep in touch often to check on your dog. **please note my unit has stairs both outside and inside. I can block the entrance to the inside stairs if your dog doesn’t do well with them (I have a lofted office area). But with the outside set, your dog either has to be able to walk them (1 flight) on their own or be able to be picked up.
