I have been an animal lover my entire life and had pets since the age of 7. I have cared for my own pets through their senior years and battles with cancer, and I’ve been pet-sitting for friends for decades as well as sometimes fostered puppies for the spca. As a professional stock photographer I have experience working with animals too. We are home full time and have a fenced patio with a community park/field just feet away from our condo. Our dog is friendly with with all other breeds and would love the companionship of a visitor! The only reason I no longer allow pets on the furniture is because I've had one of my own tear his ACL jumping (which sadly required knee surgery) but this doesn't mean any less cuddling, I am glad to roll around on the floor with them!
