I lost my best friend of 14 years last Easter . I miss all the cuddles, walks and playtime we shared together. I am not ready to adopt another dog full time but still would like some time for walks and doggie time. If your dog has a lot of energy I would love to take them for long walks and or hikes. It was a huge relief to have a family member watch my pet when I couldn't take her on trips but family members and friends aren't always available.
