I have had dogs in the past, but do not have any right now, just two cats. I'd love to go for walks, hikes, go to parks and play. I will be able to give your pet extra attention. I have looked after pets for friends and family before, but nothing professional. I'm currently not working right now, and have time during the day before my kids get home from school. During the summer, I would also be able to be outdoors a lot and could be active during the day, providing exercise by going on walks and hikes. I have partially fenced yard, providing shade and a place to run around. I would be able to take your dog for plenty of walks and hikes (my usual is just around watershed park, nothing extreme and always local). My kids love dogs, and this would be a good way to be able to interact with dogs without owning one right now.
