I am a college student with no classes after 6pm, and none Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. I have great patience with animals and will not get short or upset with your dog. My family owns both young dogs ( 3 and 2 years old) as well as two older dogs (10). I have experience managing very energetic breeds such as blue heelers, very noisy and destructive breeds like huskies, and with dogs who have issues with aggression towards other animals. I also have experience with cats, and can safely separate your cat and dog should the need arise. I have cared for dogs in the past with medical issues, such as seizures and eye drops, and know how to feed them pills and how to manage various medical emergencies, again, should the need arise.
