I'm 23 years old and have my own dog an American staffy. She's about 1 year old and loves all animals, she even bird watches with me every morning. She can be very lazy or very active depending on how she feels that day. I take my dog on daily walks and have always loved animals. Ever since I was a child I've always had an animal by my side; weather is cats, dogs, flying squirrels, and many more. I'm very gentle with animals an regularly bathe my own, so it wont be a problem giving yours any type of special treatment. I'm also a pretty active person so if you have a high energy animal I'll be right there with them. I'm also perfectly fine just hanging around with lazy animals, like my dog.
