I've had several dogs throughout my childhood and they have ranged from a little chihuahua to a big german shepherd. While growing up with dogs in the household, I've also looked after the pets of family and friends for days or even weeks. I have experience in caring for little dogs and big dogs, young dogs and old dogs, and have even looked after cats occasionally, so I have plenty of experience in taking care of your pet's needs. Because I've been surrounded by pets most of my life, I couldn't imagine not having any pets around. I'm currently a student at Baylor University and would love to have a running (or walking) buddy when I'm not in class, so your dog can enjoy the outdoors when they stay with me. My housemates have two dogs so there is always a buddy for your dog when I am in class, or if they don't like other dogs, they will have the opportunity to escape to my room.
