I have had my own dogs my entire life and currently have a pup, Jax, he is 6. My aunt who lives in Chicago owns a pet care business that specializes in boarding and pet walking/cat care, I worked with her for 2 years. I take Jax to swim or to the park/on a walk or hike minimum of 2 times a day, sometimes more and will do the same for your pup. My dog Jax is VERY friendly and most of the time I can do activities with other pups and Jax, so they can have a friend if desired :). I love animals and the outdoors, so its a perfect combination! If you're looking for a knowledgable care taker, you have found it!
