I've never had a pet of my own, but am the first to be asked to pet sit when friends and family go on vacation. I am responsible, affectionate, and playful around animals, though I don't over indulge them. I have a way of keeping dogs very calm; even the hyper ones. I'm in very good shape and can accommodate dogs that need long walks. I accept dogs to lie on furniture and my own bed within reason (very large dogs, outdoor pets, and heavy shedders are the exceptions). I can take care of some dogs that haven't been spayed or neutered, depending on their size and demeanor. The largest dog I've ever taken care of was a 90lb german shepherd (my favorite breed). Anything smaller than that is perfectly fine ?
