Well, I have dog sat a chihuahahas for 3+years. Walking, meal times, play time, snacks. Also dog sat a 2 month old dog and 2 year old at the same time. Nothing more fun than babysitting dogs! My 7 month old girl loves dogs! I don't have any dogs of my own this will be the closest i get. I also grew up with 3 dogs at once. I believe dogs are just like family.
