I'm a 24 year old from Michigan who's been in the city for a year-- I'm also one of the (probably many) people who get excited to see your dog while walking down the street. I've grown up with family dogs all my life and have also done some dog sitting in my time. I understand the attention that most pups need and crave. Like many in the city, I do not have a yard; however, I do live less than a block away from a park. My full-time job's office is dog-friendly so will be able to bring dogs in with me so that I can take them out frequently. Otherwise, I do have the option to work from home most days if necessary.
