I have a 5 year old. chi hua hua rescue. Currently I stay at home so have time to sit/walk dogs for others around the neighborhoods. I love dogs. And often have my son's dog here too (also a rescue - 35 lb 4 year old dog who is the friendliest creature ever). We've had dogs around all our lives and so are quite experienced and understand dogs' needs well. They are tons of fun and add positive vibes and variety to life. The apartment is roomy enough for a few dogs to run around and there is also a large patio with a gate for doggies to have some fresh air in the summer if they or their owners so choose. We often go visit a dog park nearby.
