My family has had dogs since I was 12 years old. I left home at 18 and had to say goodbye to my dog, Jimmy. I have missed being around dogs so much since moving out! I love dogs in all stages of their life, young and active, older and more apt to snuggle, etc. I understand that leaving a beloved pet with a stranger for a few days could be unnerving, but I am well-qualified and more than willing to care for any dog. I love being physically active, I often go walking or running by myself but love doing the same with a dog by my side. The unconditional love that dogs give makes it easy to connect and have fun with new friends.
