The reason I would be the best option for watching your dog is because I have raised dogs since I was 13, I am very athletic, and I have a great understanding of dogs. I got my first dog which was a german shepard at 13, then I got 2 smaller dogs after, then lastly I got another dog 2015. I also train and run alot already so running or walking with a dog is no problem. On top of all that I have researched many dogs and have learned how one of a kind they all are. They all have special needs that I can take care of and they will get the attention they need when I watch them. I hope you let me help you and your friend out.
