Since moving to NYC for grad school, I have greatly missed my family dogs (currently 2 small mixed breeds and 2 boxers). Because my only responsibilities during the day are classes and that is only 2-5 hours a day, I have lots of time for your pets. There are typically breaks between classes that would allow me to return to your home after only a few hours. My weekends are largely open as well, giving me time for longer walks and more play time. Finally, I have experience with many dog breeds and different levels of energy and aggression. I have also recently taken care of an older, ailing dog and understand the level of care that is needed. I am happy both running around with a dog or cuddling with them on the couch.
