I genuinely care about animals, and I love spending time with my own. I have a 9 month old German Shepard, and training her has been one crazy ride but I loved every moment of it. I've had experience with all kinds of dogs, and I've never met one that I didn't like. Along with having my own dogs I love spending time with other people's dogs as well. I am even the kind of person who will go out of their way to a pet a dog on the street, or just point one out mid-conversation. I have a lot of patience, and have a lot of energy myself and keep up with small dogs or even small children. I hope you consider me to love your dog when you're away!
