I love all animals, but I have a soft spot for taking care of dogs. I've done in-home dog sitting on and off for free and for money over the past 10 years or so, and so far no complaints. If I had known about this website, I would have signed up for it a long time ago to spend more time around dogs. I'll walk them, clean up after them, stay over night if needed (though I do have a family of my own, so that may not happen too often) and I'll also keep an eye on your house if you want. Light cleaning, bringing in the mail, taking out trash. Stuff like that. But I am doing this for the dogs, though.
