About: I grew up with a senior dog then had puppies to senior dogs. I now help my friends out with their little ones quite frequently. I am a professor so I have work from home hours and am only required on campus for short stints of time. Evenings I like to be outside and take walks. Weekends I love being outside. I live in an apartment right next to a city park. I love taking walks there, it’s a 1 mile trek but can end whenever. At my friends places, I let the dog lead and show me their routine. I enjoy taking dogs on adventures.
