I miss my dog. That's why I'm here. I walked her first thing every morning, and it was the best way to start my day. I didn't fully realize how much I cherished those walks with Riley until she got sick and died at just 3.5 years old. I'm not looking for sympathy with this story, I just want you to know where I'm coming from. I'm a 30-something guy with a young family and a hole in my heart. Other than my own dogs, I have no experience with pet care. I just want to spend time with dogs again and I'm not ready to replace my beloved pup. I work from home with flexible hours. If you go to an office or have limited mobility, I'd love to help you out. You'll be helping me more than you think! I am friendly, trustworthy, and patient. I am in good shape and can walk long distances and good speeds. I'm used to a highly energetic dog. I'm also happy to slow it down and take our time. I love to take dogs in the woods and have a big, fenced backyard.
