I have been around and owned dogs for the majority of my life. Friends always come to me to watch their pets because of how much their dogs like me. I own 2 beagle mixes which do not stay with me. I also stay at home for work full time so there is plenty of time for walks during the day/night. There is a big field of grass one block from my apartment where dogs can have a nice run. I also have a pet store (bentleys pet stuff) one block from my house if anything is ever needed. I don't crate my dogs up at home, so unless one is needed your dog will have free roam of my place. I hope to hear from you :)
