I grew up with all kinds of dogs and my first real job was taking care of two neighborhood horses. I've since taken care of many breeds and I'm comfortable with both large and small dogs. I'm currently working from home and I exercise regularly with our border collie. We take him for walks/runs or to play fetch multiple times a day and he loves to play with other friendly dogs. My husband is also at home with our dog by his feet as he works. We have a 1 acre yard with a dog run and we're right by fields and parks, which we visit regularly. We can easily crate your dog if needed and can integrate him/her into the family routine.
