I've grown up with dogs my whole life and have owned 2 myself. For five years I worked in a dog-friendly office and was dubbed "the dog whisperer" by my peers for how calm and relaxed each dog was with me, even the problematic ones. While my coworkers went to meetings, I was the one they came to for walks and generally keep the dogs company for the few hours they would be away. I've also dogsat for families who left town and needed someone to come be with the dog. I'm great with walks, not shy about picking up dog doo doo, will exercise with your pet, or just lounge around if they're more of a lap dog. If your dog is the type that gravitates towards guys, I'm the sitter you're looking for. I'll give them a bath if needed and take their special needs into account (if they need to be kept from other dogs, children, adults, etc.) Happy to stay at your home if need be or bring them to my apartment if that is preferred, whatever works. Most of all, I just love dogs.
