I have a lifetime of experience being around animals, dogs included. Even extended family, most of whom had a variety of pets and live stock. Personally, I have had 3 German Shepherds....not at once. A Lab Mix, a Maltese, a medium stray...Not sure what it was( I was young)...multiple cats, 2 horses, one pony, 3 rabbits, 3 guinea pigs and a hamster. I love animals. And to know I could be getting exercise spending time with yours is a bonus!! I am between jobs, so available all day. May be my new job! I'm looking forward to this. I have no issue with walking, playing , feeding or cleaning up after them. In fact, my first job, when I was 11, was cleaning horse stalls. And now, my primary job is Certified Nurse Aide... (cleaning up after patients)
