I've been professionally grooming dogs for about a year. I specialize in anxious and nervous dogs. They Will come to hairy and dirty but leave cle I'm currently not working so I would have more than enough time to play with the dogs that I watch and give them all the attention they could ever want. I don't have a fenced in back yard but then again the dogs will never be outside without being on a leash and there is a park across the street for them to get plenty of excersise
