I grew up having a dog from 5-18 years old. When I had roommates in college, I also lived with up to 3 dogs at a time. The dog I grew up with was part Labrador Retriever and part Chow Chow and I've lived with mini Australian shepherds and a Chihuahua. I watched these dogs while my roommates were away or when they left for the weekend. I absolutely love dogs and wish I could have one of my own (I live in an apartment where they're not allowed). I would love to watch and take care of your precious fluffy family member(s)!
