I love animals. I've looked after them my whole life. Family pets, pet sitting gigs for friends...etc. So my experience is based in time. I live in a nice apartment in Uptown, New Orleans. We have no fenced in back yard. However we do have a large patio, a grassy area near the house and a really cute, completely-fenced-in, playground with PLENTY of room for your dog to roam and stretch their legs. I enjoy being outdoors so we can go as often as they are used to. I live here with two roommates, but I'm usually the only one home. It would be nice to have some furry friends keep me company also! I look forward to loving your pet while you're at work or away!
