Besides my own experience as a dog owner, I have dogsitting experience with breeds ranging from Bernese Mountain dogs (here at home) to scraggly West African mutts (as a Peace Corps volunteer in Togo). And I've gotten attached to every one of them! I'm fairly new to Seattle, and have only been back from Togo for a year, so I don't currently own a dog and I miss the pup love! I'd be thrilled to treat your dog(s) like my very own. I also have 3 housemates (aged 26-30) who are dog lovers to the extreme and have varying work schedules, so any hosted pups will get no shortage of affection and quality time. Lastly, I get home from work around 4:30 on weekdays, so your pup(s) will be properly snuggled, walked and played with all evening!
