Big animal lover here! Throughout middle and high school I fostered an array of soon-to-be pets to get them socialized and ready for adoption in New York. I recently moved to Fort Worth after living 6 years abroad in Costa Rica. I moved with my two male pups, Coco and Macho (they're the ones in my profile pic!). Both were strays in Costa Rica that I personally rescued from the steets, trained and have been loving ever since. In Costa Rica we used to do a lot of off-leash hiking, but here we've adjusted to the dog-walk and doggie park style of life. I am a grad student studying bilingual speech pathology at Texas Christian University. Tuesdays and Thursdays are my heavier days when I'm away from home for 10+ hours, but I do pop in for a potty break during lunch. I don't typically do day sitting on those two days, because of my crazy schedule. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays I have fewer commitments and only need to be away from home for 3-5 hours. And on the weekends I am home full time. If watching dogs in my home, I always do a Meet & Greet first so that our dogs can have introductions and to make sure we're on the same page. My dogs are loveable goofballs who get along with 99% of dogs, big and small. They definitely see Rover as a chance to make new friends. If your pup stays with me and my dogs, I'd be more than happy to take him or her on walks with us (or separately depending on walking needs), or even to a dog park if it's over the weekend. We like to stay active! I'll also keep you updated with pics and activities. Expect a surprise gift at the end of your pup's stay :)
