I've grown up with dogs all my life. Initially we only had two, but over the years we've ended up accumulating quite a menagerie. For the past several years we've had 4 dogs total (3 schnauzers and a dachshund). I've often been their main caretaker during the week. If I am selected to care for your dog(s) (in any capacity) I guarantee I will take care of them as though they were my own. No doubt about it.
