My experience with dogs started at 10 years old when I began raising my old Yellow Lab. Having raised her from a puppy to 13 years old, and to now raising my Boxer/Rottie mix Murtaugh, I have plenty of experience with young and old dogs, energetic and lazy. I do work full-time, but am home by 5pm during the week. Murtaugh and I like to go on walks 2 to 3 times a day either around Cleveland Park or exploring Rock Creek, one first thing in the morning, and again in the afternoon and evening. He is also very energetic and loves to play in the backyard, mainly tug of war and fetch. We have all of the supplies needed to watch your pup, from an extra food bowl, toys, and an extra crate if needed.
