I have experience watching dogs of all sizes, from a miniature dachshund to a St. Bernard! I am comfortable with most any animals, including those with health issues. I have administered insulin in the past. I am a dog owner myself to a high energy Havanese with a few anxiety issues, so I have no problem keeping any dog busy and active, but also calm when the time calls for it. I also have no problem with light housekeeping while in your home. I do have a full time job, M-F 7:30a - 4p, but would be happy to accommodate you outside of these hours! With enough advance notice, there is always a possibility that my work schedule could be altered to meet your needs.
