I too have a dog. Her name is Akira and she is a Siberian Husky, so I am quite used to taking care of energetic dogs. I'm okay with taking care of pups and teaching them to go to the bathroom outside and cleaning up after the mess if accidents happen. My dog was once a pup herself so I understand the struggles of raising one. If your dog just needs company then I am okay with staying with them until you get back from work. I am not professionally trained. My experience is through taking care of not only my dog, but also my family and friends' dogs. I am a college student and I also have another job so my availability will work around that. So please understand that if I say no its because it doesn't match with my schedule.
