I have raised my dog since she was a puppy and have dog sat for friends and family before. My work hours are flexible so I'll have the time to walk and play and give your dog as much attention as it needs as often as it needs. Although my backyard isn't fenced in, my home is located very close to a hiking trail and has fields for the dog to run around and play in if leashed. i also enjoy hiking and being outdoors and will gladly take your dog with me if that’s what your dog enjoys and I always make sure I bring extra water for the dogs. If your dog prefers relaxing on the couch I can easily do that too.
