I love animals so much. I was the manager of a pet store for 3 years that had every type of animal, including dogs. I learned basic care there as well as nail clipping and providing medications. I then went to grooming school for a year and worked at a veterinarian's office. With this, I am experienced with tougher cases and am good at handling directions. Hanging out with your dog will not feel like work to me, I will enjoy it just as much as your dog will. :) I have a pretty big backyard, however, it does not have a fence. I live in a one bedroom house with my dog, cat and birds so I can only accept dogs that are ok with other animals.
