Growing up, my family has always had and loved dogs (and cats) of all types, ages, sizes, and abilities. I don't have my own dog right now, however, I do have a 7 year old cat named Gryffin. I have dog/cat sat on many occasions for as many as 6 dogs at one time for family and friends. My mom works with a dog rescue so I have helped them by transporting and even fostering dogs and puppies before. I'm not in a place to have a dog of my own, but I still love dogs and love getting to spend time outside playing and walking dogs without the full time/life commitment of having my own dog. I hope I can love your dog (or cat!) as much as you do! Note: I live on the third floor of my apartment building (yes, it is my daily work out). While I am happy to help any pint-sized pups with their trips up and down. Larger dogs will need to be capable of climbing stairs to make it up and down.
