I've had pets my whole life, including dogs, cats, a ferret, and hamsters. I currently have my own deaf dog& a lab. I've taken care of many people's ferrets, fish, cats, and dogs. I only work 2 days a week, so I have got plenty of time most days to take care of another animal or a few! My husband and I love to run, we run with our dog and could run (or walk) yours too if needed! We've also got a fenced in yard, and a dog park very close by. Our dogs are friendly and love to play. We do have to crate our dogs in our home when we are gone, so would probably need to crate a visiting dog as well, but we don't typically leave for longer than 1-4 hours at a time.
