I’ve personally had dogs since I was about 10, I’ve had everything from Yorkie’s to Great Danes.. I also occasionally watch my neighbors puppy a German Shepard. My full time job is a first responder. Part time my schedule changes every 3 months.. from working Mon-Thur and then Thur-Sun so my off days starting October will be Friday-Sunday and so on Fenced in back yards, other dogs to play with if your dog is friendly, if not I’ll make sure to keep the dogs separated..I have a dog park not to far from home as well, and a near by college that’s also good for walks, and lots and lots of dog toys!
