As someone who grew up with dogs, I got a dog as soon as my life allowed and have spoiled him rotten ever since then. My boyfriend & I live in a house with a big fenced backyard (and most recently, a kiddie pool for the pups in the warmer weather!). My lab Lincoln loves every dog he meets, and just wants to play tug all day long. For lower-energy dogs, he's content to just curl up on the couch next to them and snuggle. I work from home full time; anytime I do leave, I'm happy to leave your dog out in the living room (my dog has free roam of the house) or crate them. On the weekends, I like to take Linc for hikes, play dates, or just throw the ball for him until he's tired. I love to play with pups and would be happy to host yours! I have experience with behaviorally difficult dogs, and I also love to help train basic obedience, so I'm free to work with them on any issues they might have while they stay with me.
