I am currently at the University of Virginia School of Law, and I very much miss my dog that I have left at home. While I can't commit to a dog of my own right now because of future work, I would be delighted to keep your dog company while you are away and have someone to love on while I complete all of my reading. I have grown up with a house full of dogs, around 5 different personalities, and even three at a time -- Jack Russells and Australian Shepherds. I am very active and in shape, and can accommodate your dog's activity needs, whether that be a run, long walk, play time, whatever that may be. I am also a great snuggler and petter! I live in a one-bedroom apartment, but your dog(s) would have free range of the place, furniture/beds and all. There is a unfenced yard right outside my door, and trails nearby. I also have experience taking care of puppies, and was the primary care taker of two different puppies in my life.
