Single mom who would eventually love to get a family dog but can't quite commit just yet. I have past experience pet sitting for a chihuahua, poodle, a senior German Shepard and a beagle. My son is 8 years old and very gentle, has never once tugged or played rough in any way with dogs. My parents have a chihuahua that he adores and my brother has a black lab so we're used to all shapes and sizes but I prefer caring for smaller breeds. From my childhood right up until I moved out of my parents home, my family had 3 dogs - a daschund, a poodle and a schnauzer. My son is allergic to cats so they're not an option for us.
