I am researcher & scientist who is staying DC on a short term research contract. Due to my professional obligations, I can't have pets, but I love dogs and cats. I grew up with dogs/cats and frequently take care of friends' pets, just for fun. I like to jog, walk, and play, but I am strong to not allow anti-social misbehaviours. Your dog will be super stimulated, safe, and they will give me a needed work out! that I have a great intuition with dogs and am sympathetic to their needs, while not being a lax push-over. - lots of running/jogging - aggressive play in parks (ball, tug-of-war, etc). - understand dog safety in urban areas - understand dog diet and basics of obedience training
