I've grown up with a dog. And I have had two dogs as an adult. I have a fenced in backyard which is great for dog friends that visit. I work from home so can spend time during the day playing and walking dogs, feeding them if they need special times during the day. Or meeting at your house to take care of your dog's needs. I have flexibility in my day so I can do whatever is needed for your dog, special play time, walks, brushing etc. I like to play and go for walks with the dogs and spend time outside.
