I have had dogs for 10 years. I currently own a Siberian Husky which I walk an average of 5 miles a day. So walking for long periods of time is not an issue for me. Also have a huge back yard for him t ran around as well as a large home. I know how to juggle him and my 4 year old daughter. I can house sit and have the dogs stay at my house. My daughter respects and knows how to behave around dogs since we have a large breed. I get up early so if you need someone early they is not an issue. I love animals and enjoy walking and playing with them. I am here is needed thank you
