My son and I are animal lovers but as my son is still young I am unsure about taking on a pet on a permanent basis. Basically we are looking to try before we buy!
I grew up with dogs as as the eldest sibling did the majority of walking, feeding, cleaning up after. Over the last few years I have done some house/pet sitting whilst in between homes.
We would be most comfortable with small to medium dogs. We have a small yard and don't think it is fair for large dogs.
I am happy to have inside dogs. Our family dog always slept on the inside so I am more than comfortable to have a dog who wants to sleep in the house.
I work from home 80% of the time so your pet won't be alone very often.
We would be happy to have some playdates before hand so your pet would be comfortable with us....
