I have grown up with dogs and cats always in my life. As an adult I have had my own dog and cat companions and also took on caring for a friends dog for almost a year. She was shy of people, and during my time with her I was able to socialize her and help her feel comfortable with strangers, no more nipping at their ankles! I have a van with plenty of space and would be happy to take your companion to fun places to run and romp and smell the smells, or have a nice mellow stroll among the trees. I can also do overnights at your place. I am currently in school 4 days/week, but can bring your pup with me and walk them a few times during the school day. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to have animals stay with me in my current home.
