I am a huge dog lover! I have a lab/husky mix that I've had since September and feel very comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes. He is very hyper and has tons of energy, so I am used to dealing with hyperactive dogs. I grew up with an English springer spaniel and started dog sitting for neighbors when i was about 12. I always make sure to take them out for walks at least multiple times a day because no dog should be cooped up inside all day! I am a nursing student and am in school about half of the week, but have a lot of availability here and there to walk your dog and give him/her that extra attention when you're gone! I will love your dog as if he/she was my own!
