I have 2 dogs of my own and they love company, but they're homebodies. I can take your pup in to chill with them for the day, take him or her out for a run on the trails, or come visit and play while you're at work. I am accustomed to dealing with doggy anxiety, as my rescue had a tough life before me and can be quite timid and nervous. My other dog is 13 years old and has some weakness in his hips, so I know to take it easy with him and administer pain meds when he needs it. My home is comfy and dog-friendly--we don't mind shedding as we have an excellent vacuum. I can also give baths after a muddy day at the park; we installed an extra-long shower head for that reason. Your dog would be very happy and comfortable with me!
