I'm a native Californian, a writer who works from home and I'm almost always available for house boarding. I was a dog owner for 12 years and have been providing foster care for dogs as well as casually caring for my friends and family's dogs for 3 years, since moving back to LA. In addition to feeding them, walking and playing with them and bathing them; I love to take dogs on hikes or to the beach. I spend a lot of my day going on several long walks around my neighborhood. Your dog will be an excellent companion! I live with my fiancee who also had dogs er whole life and can't get enough of them. We're hoping to adopt one sometime next year.
