I have been a dog owner most of my life, but currently do not have a dog or any pets. My prior career made it difficult to own pets, but I have recently changed careers and am now home full-time. Therefore your dog would enjoy my undivided and careful attention. Growing up my family had dogs, cats, hamsters, sometimes all at the same time, so I'm definitely a pet-lover! My house is ideally situated at the back of a private cul de sac, and I have about one-half acre of property. There is plenty of safe space for walking or even running around. There's a lot of privacy, but I am also able to walk your dog around the neighborhood where potentially the many local children might turn him or her into a canine rock star!
