Caring Teacher for any cat/dog <3

I am a full time teacher in the Airline area. I currently have a dog of my own who is a selfish king but wouldn't mind a friend if introduced! I would love to care for your dog as if it were my own. I have 2 other dogs that live with my mom in SW Houston where one of them I have had since I was 13 years old named Ponchy. The other small white dog in my hands is Pequis, my mom's dog. I have taken care of various breeds of dogs, usually small and medium sized dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

I live with my boyfriend in his one story home. We have a small yard in the back and a nice neighborhood with safe sidewalks. When I walk my own dog, I am extra cautious as we do have a few loose dogs in our neighborhood. If not, we have also taken him to a nearby park on Rosslyn Rd. My dog is a lone wolf but may welcome an extra friend if he gets to know them first. He will be happy to play but will get tired out easily.

Schedule

I am a teacher who works every weekday Monday - Friday, excluding major holidays. I am usually away from home from 6am - 4:15pm, so your pet must be okay with being alone for a long period of time. I cannot come check on them in the middle of the day. On the weekends, I am a homebody recovering from the work week. If I'm not home, I am usually hanging out with my own dog, Benny. He is an Arizona dog and previously shared a life with my previous roomates' Pomeranian when we lived in Dallas before coming to Houston. If I'm not home, I'm usually with family or out and about for a few hours with my boyfriend who also loves dogs.
