Hello, I have 7 years worth of experience with dogs ranging from yorkies to boxers. I love dogs of all sizes, I'm not scared of any breed, height or weight. I've watched dogs in my home in the past and went to check on them in theirs before. My skills range in actively keeping dogs entertained, running outside with them and keeping on track of their bathroom breaks. I love dogs, not so much cats because they're so stealthy. I have a HUGE gated yard for plenty of play. I watch closer attention to the smaller dogs outside so they don't escape through the gate. I do have a 4 year old daughter but she's very familiar with dogs and the rules associated with taking care of them. Typically we wake up around early to take the dogs out to the bathroom. This is when we also feed them and let them play outside. Play time depends on the weather. So after about a hour of play we come in for water. While outside my dog likes to "play soccer" or play in the water with my daughter. (So those are the activities we like. If you don't want your animal wet then we can skip water play) Watch a little TV/ play with dog toys then go out every 2-3 hours for bathroom breaks. Once the sun goes down more we go out again to play for another hour. Then come in for water and food. I conduct one last bathroom break before bed as well. As you can assume I am a stay at home mom so I don't have a full time job. So your puppy/dog, my dog and my daughter are my priorities.
