20. Joe S.
About: I've had dogs in my life since day one (two, maybe), and continue to be a dog owner at heart - though I don't currently have one making rounds in my apartment. I have a lot of puppy love to share and hope I can help you and your little (or big) one out with walks, a trip to the park, or just some play time and snuggles at home. I have no formal pet care experience, but have always had a dog in my life in some fashion. Most recently, I spent five years living and sharing the responsibility for my roommate's dog, until he moved. I'm now well-versed in local vet and emergency care options, just in case the unexpected arises. I also regularly take in friends', family, even co-workers' dogs during vacations, and manage well will a wide variety of shapes, sizes and personalities. Most importantly, I enjoy having dogs around and want to share the love! I hope to hear from you! I work from home full time and am around throughout the day to accommodate trips outside, play breaks, snuggle time, and just generally keeping your dog company! I generally only keep one dog at a time in my home, and do not currently have a pup of my own. I have some green space for short trips outside and love taking walks in the neighborhood.
