I have owned 4 dogs in the last 10 years ranging from a Neo mastiff to chihuahua at the same time. I have owned a variety of animals also so if you were to have any other kinds of pets I would be capable of caring for them also. One house sitting involved 7 dogs 2 cats 2 horses and a handful of chickens and 2 pigs. All of which were well cared for. I always get the comment of 'my dog doesn't like men but he loves you' all the time. I am not sure what it is but I get along well with all animals even the hot tempered ones. I love all animals and I am sure they will have a lot of attention and be well cared for while I am watching them.
