I've had dogs almost all my life. Most people I've known are dog lovers as well. It seems perfectly natural to be around them! I love all kinds of dogs and admire their sincere loyalty to people. I am a student currently and work with adults and youth with intellectual diablilites. I currently have two senior dogs, one is a bichon (niko) poodle mix and the other an Australian Shepard lab mix (Oreo). I've had experience dog sitting various breeds as well as provided walks. I like to walk/ hike if the dog is able to will take the dog around the city, whichever is fine . Walking is one of the most enjoyable bonding experience a human can have with a dog, as well as great exercise.
