i love all animals, and nothing would make me happier than to make your absence more bearable for your fur baby. i'm an owner of an almost 2 year old german shepherd girl, a sweet kitty, and a chinchilla. i grew up an air force brat with dogs, my mom said she wanted us "to always have a friend wherever we moved." i understand the importance an so value of all pets. i do work full-time as an architect, so i do my best to work around my 9-5, but it doesn't always work. weekends are definitely best for me, and i'll gladly play with any pups. to be honest, i just have my own dog-owning experiences to go by, but i'm incredibly compassionate and will love your dog as my own.
