I have had both dogs and cats my entire life. Recently my 14-year old pooch passed away, and while we miss her I'm not ready to get another pet quite yet. However I work from home and it can be rather quiet during the day. My daughter is with me 50% of the time, but she attends school during the day, so I'm here able to provide companionship and mid-day walks and loves for furries that are used to being around their humans. Tessa loves animals and would be happy to provide extra playtime and snuggles as required. I work from home and have my daughter 50% of the time. I can easily provide morning and evening walks, a mid-day potty break as needed, as well as play time. My apartment is pet friendly, and there's a lovely neighborhood nearby for walks. The complex also has two fenced-in off-leash areas for pooches that need to run free. Since I work from home I'm able to provide care on the schedule that your pet is accustomed to. The only thing I can't do is a pooch on my bed, but they are more than welcome to sleep anywhere else in my 3-bedroom apartment.
