Dogs have been a major part of my life. As a child, my family had a small mutt and after he passed we adopted a Maltese. My parents wanted me to learn about my furry companions so we could properly raise them so I read books on caring for dogs as well as taking classes on how to train/communicate with them. Unfortunately, I don't have a dog with me in San Francisco and I also work from home every day so I would love the opportunity to be around other dogs. I am an active individual who likes being outside but I would still give your dog the attention they need indoors too. I know how important it is to treat pets as part of the family and I would care for your dog as if they were my own.
