Do you think this is a scam?

So, I got my first request today via rover. It seemed normal at first (somewhat normal). I sent him my email at his request without thinking it was super weird until he sent me a large email with an image of the dog and some info about him. He says he is coming from the DR to work with the bureau of investigations (seems iffy). He is doing a month long training and staying in a suite near me, and would like me to watch his dog (who it seems he refers to by a different name on accident) for 400/week for a 1 hour visit 5 times a week. Seems way too good to be true, and the email just seems off. Offers a weeks pay in advance etc.

To sum up, I am pretty sure this is a scam and do not feel comfortable proceeding. My main concern is- do you think I/my cyber security am in danger for giving him my email and replying to his email? Anyone have experience with this?
