I love dogs (and kitties), but unfortunately I haven't been able to make the financial commitment to owning a pet at this stage of my life. My family and many of my good friends growing up had pets, which has allowed me to gain important experience in taking care of them. I have dog-sat for friends on numerous occasions, including boarding pups overnight and house-sitting. I am a highly active person and will definitely walk/jog with your pup/play with him/her as much as he/she would like to! I am transitioning from a full-time job to being a stay-at-home wife. My hours will be very flexible (home full-time) starting in October! I am applying on Rover because I just want more time to spend with animals, since I do not currently have my own pet!
