I've grown up with dogs, and have done everything you can think of from diabetic care, to bathing and grooming, crate training dogs, you name it and most likely I have dealt with it. Between my parents-they own six dogs between them. Five are shih tzus and the other one is a Pitbull mix. I dog sit them at my own apartment often, and I couldn't be happier doing so! I work during the day and am off weekends, I am fine with leaving pets out in my place, as long as they are trained well, if not then if they're crate trained my job would allow me to leave them for 7-8hours a day while I work. I volunteer with a rescue and have been for a couple years and have handled Dachshunds to Great Dane mixes, I love all breeds of all sizes!
