As a former vet tech your dogs (and cats and other critters) will be in excellent care. I currently run a service dog training program and can dedicate time to working on retaining the training you have started while you are out of town. I can administer all medications and handle any emergency situation if they unfortunately occur. I have experience with many different breeds and can handle any dog no matter the situation, that includes crate rotation if necessary and separating females in heat or elderly dogs. In my home dogs will be treated like family, sleep in bed with us if that's what they're used to and can even get extra exercise at the dog park if they have a strong recall and have been there before.
