I've owned many pets throughout my life, from dogs to birds, rats to cats. My childhood dog was a golden retriever, but my family has mostly small dogs now (chihuahuas and pomeranians). I love animals in all shapes and sizes and approach each with respect and tenderness. I just started a running routine, and would love your pet to join me! We can also take a walk, play, or relax together — whatever your dog needs! I am a PhD student at Portland State, so I have a flexible schedule year round. I can use the break to get outside just as much as your doggy needs to! I hope we can create a long term pet care relationship, and of course, quick needs and overnights (for smaller dogs that are good with cats) are welcome as well.
