I can take a dog or puppy in my home overnight. I do work 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m. across the street from home. I come home for my hour lunch everyday. I have no kids so I have tons of time to spare for your dog! My apartment is only 800 sq ft & I have condo rules of only dogs under 35 pounds in our building. Limits me in this, but I am hoping to find small-medium size dogs to watch & care for.
