Thanks for taking the time to read my profile! I grew up with dogs my whole life and believe a dog really is a part of a family. I have my own rescue fur kid as well! I work from home full-time so my schedule is very flexible, especially if you have a sudden change in yours. In my free time, I volunteer for a local rescue organization that focuses on finding homes for dogs of all breeds and ages. Now, the important stuff! I can be very sensitive to the needs of your pet. I currently have a 5.5 year old rescue pup who has some fear issues with people (major dog lover though) so I definitely understand if your pup needs someone with a little (or a lot of!) patience. I also understand that you've likely worked really hard on training your pet! In order to maintain that training, you need someone who is consistent and reliable. I can assure you the rules of your home will not be broken, even if they come to visit my home! I love taking long walks and can even take on the occasional jog if that's something your pup is into! I absolutely adore animals and have a genuine appreciation for them. I become attached so don't be surprised if he/she gets a lot of love, every visit! I look forward to meeting you and your pet and beginning a lasting friendship! "Dogs do speak. But, only to those who know how to listen." - Orhan Pamuk
