I grew up with 2 smaller dogs, one of them needing medication daily for seizures. I trained my dads dogs (2) to sit and shake while they were 4 months old, I care for them while he is away. Now I have a dog of my own that sits, shakes and stays on command. Currently in between jobs so I am very flexible as of right now! I have reliable transportation. I do have a vacation coming up from December 19th to January 5th so I will be out of town til the 5th No house sitting at my home. But I do know nearby dog parks and parks and path for dog walking! My dog interacts well with other animals.
