Having grown up with family dogs since age 5, I miss having them around. I love taking dogs for a walk/run, or to the dog park to socialize if they like. Pet safety and gentleness is very important to me, and having the most experience with spaniels, I understand both higher and low maintenance dog needs (love, energy, and material). I also have lived with several different cats, and am game for their snuggles and care as well. I consider pets a part of the family and so will treat them as such, even if around temporarily. My apartment does not have a yard but as a pastry chef, I make my own schedule and can work around your dog or cats' schedule as needed.
