Hi there! I have had dogs all my life and love taking care of them. I am very comfortable with big dogs as well- I grew up with two Golden Retrievers. I do not have pets of my own nor children. I work 7:45 to 3:15 but am 10 minutes away from work and can run home to let the dog out to the bathroom if needed. Some days I can do a quick walk- depends on my schedule at work that day but would know well in advance. I have a townhouse with a fenced in patio with a small grassy area. The dog would be allowed access to it during the day if needed. Dogs can be on the furniture but would prefer them not to be.
