I have had dogs (and other various animals) for most of my life and at one time had 5 dogs growing up! I have cared for dogs and cats in the past for both short check-ins and week-long stays. I also have experience caring for dogs and cats with special needs, including administering injections due to diabetes and special food to cats with kidney issues. I am very comfortable around all animals! I am a very active person and enjoy going for jogs and walks, but because I live in an apartment I can't enjoy that with a dog, so I would love to take your dog out for a long walk! I currently have a 16 year old kitty who loves pets, cuddles, and fish-flavored canned food!
