Ive had dogs all my life. Big ones small ones. But i say i have 8 years experience and what I mean is , just a rounded number of good years that i have had the opportunity to take care of them. I have my own baby Marley. He's Chihuahua and Terrier. Ill take care of your pup or big one anytime. I stay in a small apartment and can take care of up to 2 dogs at once while having my own dog there. I would be able to walk them to a dog park neer by. I aslo have a small yard behind my apartment were they can have potty time. I also have some toys for play time so they wont need.
