The dog in our profile picture, Jessie, belongs to our son who is on the road often so we take care of her two or three days a week, on a variable schedule. Before that, our previous family dog was a Lab/Border Collie mix, who we raised along with our boys until she passed at 14. We have both been dog lovers for many years. We are a retired couple (my wife is Tracy) so our schedule is fairly flexible. We do have some regular commitments, but often things can be rearranged to suit. Typically, we will be available from 8am to 9pm For the Day Care, as mentioned earlier, we are often looking after Jessie, who was a rescue but we trained her and she is very friendly. Our yard is not fenced but fairly secluded.
