I've had dogs my entire life! I grew up with a lab, two boxers and a morkie. I have dog sat for many coworkers, neighbors and friends. I work full time at the University of Dubuque but my schedule varies day to day. I work split shifts twice a week and can take lunch whenever through out the day. I live on the second floor of my apartment complex with only one flight of stairs. There is a large yard space but is not fenced in. I also live near a walking path that goes around a pond. Swiss Valley is also only a short drive away. Pets are allowed anywhere in my apartment including furniture! The kitchen and bathroom are linoleum flooring and the living room/bedroom are carpet.
