Pet care experience

I have been watching dogs for the last 3 years of all ages and sizes. I have also had dogs for most of my life I don't work weekends, so I usually don't spend too much time away from home then. I have a large fenced in backyard and my son and I like to take the dogs we watch for long walks as well. My son also enjoys playing with all the dogs we watch in the backyard.
