I've grown up with dogs my whole life. Unfortunately, in July of 2014, my family pet Patches passed away. It took me a year to move on and adopt a new dog. My partner, Ben, and I adopted a rescue dog. He is 12 years old and is a total sweetheart! He gets along with all other dogs we have introduced him to :) We take our dog, and those we watch, for a long walk at least twice a day. We also enjoy hiking and love taking our dog, Trace, and would love to take yours with us! Your dog will have free range of the house - and can make their way into our fenced yard as they please through the doggie door. I am a graduate student up at USU - but will be finishing my degree when I defend my dissertation this April. My type of research allows me to work from home - so I am able to take care of your dog while you're out at work, or having fun in a place that's not pet friendly. I am also available for most of the summer before I head out of state for a new job in July.
