I've dog-sat everything from newly weaned pups to Great Danes. I have a fenced-in yard with a 6-foot tall privacy fence for running around and playing and a brick patio for sun basking. For dogs who are leash-trained, I walk the dogs individually every morning, at noon, and every evening. For super social dogs, I have an amazing dog park nearby that I can take them to. My house is set up in such a way that if the guest dogs and my dogs don't get along, there won't be any issues at all keeping them separate during the stay. My priority is making sure everyone stays safe, comfortable, and happy. I have two dogs at home, an American Bull Dog mix (3 years old) and a Black Lab mix (13 years old). I also frequently have two guinea pigs staying at my house. I have been babysitting them for about 4 years for a military pilot who travels frequently. If the guinea pigs are too exciting for guests, I put their cage in my room to avoid any unfortunate accidents.
