I've had experience caring for all sorts of different dogs for most of my life. I grew up with a Miniature Schnauzer and English Springer Spaniel, helped care for a roommate's Pit/Lab mix for several years, and now have a 7 year-old German Shepherd named Hercules. He gets along fine with other dogs in the home as he likes to keep to himself for the most part. Most of my family members also have dogs, and I have cared for them on many occasions, for lengths often spanning several days. I work from home full-time so I'll always be around to keep your pet company. I live next door to a big open park and am also a short distance from an enclosed dog park, so your dog will get plenty of time to hang out with other dogs and exercise!
