Hello dog owners! I am a current student in college that wants every opportunity to step out into the fresh air, away from the classroom, with a dog by my side. My best friend is a 15 year old healthy toy poodle who unfortunately can't stay with me on campus. I have had experience pet-sitting both dogs and cats at the same time. I look forward to meeting new dogs!
