I haven't had a pet of my own in a while but I have taken care of friends and families pets. I grew up on a farm for some of my childhood so I have had lots of experience with animals. I am a sweet caring person that would love to take great care of your dog ( or cat) when you cannot If your dog was to stay with me, I live in a loft community with a lawn area right my back door. There is also a dog run and a nice greenway near me that is great for walking dogs. I do have lots of others dogs in my community so it's best that you dog is use to being social with others
