I love all types of animals...but dogs have a special place in my heart. I am getting more familiar with additional breeds since my partner has a full-grown Boxer (adult) and an Airedale (slightly mixed) pup who is getting much better at playing fetch. She may not treat them equally since the older dog has been in the family since he was just a young puppy...but I feel that they are both members of the family. I am flexible on availability. I like to stick to schedules and if that requires staying with the 4 legged family member overnight, then that would not be a problem. Don't worry if you also have cats I am not allergic and think most of them are great pets too.
