I've grown up taking care of neighbors dogs, and worked as a kennel tech, as well as administered medications to cats in the largest no-kill shelter in Atlanta, GA. I am a designer and engineer with a very flexible work schedule, meaning I can make my hours whatever I want to make them. I have reliable transportation, though cannot transport dogs because I ride a motorcycle. I will likely spoil your pup a bit while taking care of them. My neighbors dogs, who I've taken care of since they were puppies, remember me every time I come home to visit, even when it's months or years in between when I see them. When I worked as a kennel tech I was able to slowly gain the trust of a dog that had been abandoned until the point where I was able to get him on the leash and bring him outside to use the bathroom. Every dog is different and requires a different approach.
