I live alone retired and home most days. I do volunteer work 2 days per week . When I am gone it is usually only for about 2 1/2 hours your pet would never be alone for a very long time. I walk about 3 miles per day and would love to walk a dog with me, also have a fenced in yard and would allow outside (weather permitting) every day.. Have had many pets in the past but none presently. Will provide great care for your pet brushing at all times, feeding on a regular basis and make sure the dog gets plenty of exercise. Will allow dog on furniture and will allow in my bed at night. I will provide great care for your dog
