I grew up in a household that always had two dogs - either Huskies or Boxers - along with cats, birds, fish, and a plethora of other animals, and spent many afternoons walking, running, or playing fetch with them at the park. After college, while serving with AmeriCorps, I dog sat for colleagues and friends, and took care of the 15 year old Labrador that belonged to the family I rented a room from. My wife and I own a 6 yr old Australian Cattle Dog whom I walk daily, give medicine to, and do everything I can to tire out. I currently am a part-time grad student and work part-part time with extremely flexible hours during the week. I have lived in Portland for almost 9 years now, and know plenty of great places to run and walk your furry friends. I am able to walk or run with your dog depending on your preference.
