i love dogs and have a lot of free time. I am a nurse so I am used to being on my feet all day, and what better way to do that than playing with a pup! I had two dogs (at home in NJ - not in Philly), one is a high-energy puppy (shepherd/lab mix) and the other was a mellow 10 year old (golden retriever) with a few health problems, so I am acquainted with taking care of senior dogs. I currently live with my boy Hurley, a 1 year old high energy lab mix. Whichever personality fits your dog i am happy (and very excited) to play with them or just hang out like you would! I am able to text you picture updates of our time together, too. Your dog is your best friend, and I would be thrilled to be able to be their buddy until you get home!
