I grew up around large dogs as a child and have had German Shepherds in my big kid life for the past 15 years. My dogs are my fuzzy children. If you ask people to describe me in one sentence they will probably say "she seriously loves her dogs!" I will love your dog as if it is my own while you are away. My dogs rarely go over 4 hours without a break of some sort so I understand your desire to make sure your best friend is well tended to, happy and comfortable. I look forward to the opportunity to meet your dog (and you too!) I currently have 2 German Shepherds, ages 6 and 8. I had 3 at one time so am used to multiple dogs as well! I have enough love for all!! I have a 16 year old daughter who will be helping me this summer so you are getting double to love for the same price!!!
