I've had and taken care of my own dogs since I was young. I treat my dogs as if they are my kids so I am attentive to their needs. I work nights on a rotating schedule so I am home during the day and i have my own small dog who goes out about twice a day when i am working and more often when i am off. I have a small fenced in dog park area in my complex and often take my dog to the dog beach. Your dog will need to be potty trained and non aggressive as my dog will be present with me wherever i go more than likely. I am able to be available more often/longer period of time with an advanced notice.
