I have owned dogs my entire life, I love all breeds but mutts are the best!! I love watching dogs for several reasons but mostly because it is beneficial for all involved. Not only does it allow me to take a nice break from work but it socializes my dog, a 1 year old named mix named Kubo, as well as ease your mind when you can't be with you beloved pet. As a graduate student I do most of my work from home and never have to leave your pet more than four hours. I do live in an apartment complex but it offers a dog park, if your pet stays with me we will take at least one daily trip to the dog park, but probably more.
