I've taken care of cats and dogs since I was kid. My roommates and I currently have a friendly jack terrier / pittie mix. He's very friendly and laidback and sleeps in my roommate's room. However, he is afraid of new people, so he will likely bark and pee upon meeting a new person, but he's harmless and gets along well dogs. If desired, he can easily be kept in a separate room. I have experience walking dogs and keeping track of and administering medical pills. I was taught my dogs tricks when I was a kid.
