I grew up having 3 large dogs around the house at all times. It was always my job to make sure they were taken care of. I also dog sit for my best friend when he is out of town. At times it's been for a night or two and I've stayed up to two weeks before. He has 2 large pit bulls that require a lot of attention and care. Usually taken out twice during the work day for bathroom breaks and a walk at night before bed.
