I have grown up always having a dog as a family pet from the age they are puppies to when they are older but still just as lovable. I simply enjoy being around them, not just my pets but whenever I am somewhere with a dog (a friends house, out hiking or for a walk, etc.) I gravitate toward the dogs. I've always jumped at the opportunity to walk a coworkers dog or watch them while they're gone for the weekend. I'm active so your dog will not be bored and I'm extremely reliable so you will never have to worry, your dog is in good hands.
