In your situation, I would not get a pet. My friend was like you and she wanted a doggie so bad…I finally convinced her to”pet sit”. This works out wonderfully well, she gets a dog fix when she is free and wants one short term and makes a few bucks on the side and she is still free to go where she wants when she wants without a commitment to a dog who needs a lot of love and attention. She has friends and neighbors and she also works for a pet sitting business somewhere near by where they call her when they need an extra and if she is available, she takes the slot. Good luck
