I have owned dogs my whole life. As of six years ago, I became an avid cat lover and owner, too! My beagle gets at least a mile long walk every day. I love playing with dogs and cats and giving them the attention they need! As a teacher who is going to be teaching virtually until at least November, I would be more than happy to host your dog all day long when you go to work! I have a beautiful fenced in grass backyard for lots of playing and lounging. I live in a very quiet neighborhood and feel extremely safe walking my dog up and down the streets. I would also be more than willing to spend as long as you want at your own home to give your pets some love during the day!
