I have cared for three to four dogs at my best friend's house in new Hampshire. All three are rescue dogs and they love me as their uncle. I give them all my love and attention. It makes me feel very comfortable. They get very excited when they see me and they know that I will give them all my love. The one I'm holding in the picture is the oldest and smallest dog I watch. Most dogs take to my personality when they see me. Most of the time it is instant and other times it might take a little longer. I'm kind of a softy around them but I can be an alpha when I need to. Dogs do test you in that I'm available Tuesday thro ugh Saturday after 330 and all day Sunday and Monday
