I have 2 dogs: a 14 year old Golden Lab and a 3 year old Pointer/hound mix. My family and I raised the lab from 1 year old and the mix from 8 weeks. I've also stayed over at a family member's home while watching his dog. I know that my dogs are my family and the lengths I go to go make them comfortable, so I'd lone to try to make that effort for other dogs while their family is away for a while. No problem keeping up with a high energy pup. I have a regular Monday to Friday job with the United Postal Service (UPS) which leaves my mornings, evenings, and weekends free. If your dog(s) need any social attention, it should be easily facilitated.
