I have taken care of dogs since I was a child, both mine and my family's. I currently have a three-year-old border collie mix that is very good with other dogs. I work from home full-time and can be with your pet throughout the day. I can take it out for walks and/or playtime with my dog or separately every few hours in my fenced-in backyard and the surrounding neighborhood. Your dog will be able to move around the entire house and the fenced-in backyard during the day. At night, I can provide a mattress, crate, and separate room for your dog, depending on your preference.
