I have 3 dogs of my own. A blue nose pit bull, a boarder collie, and shiatsu. I have had the shiatsu for 8 years now, his name is scooby and he is such a sweet little dog, very easy tempered, and jumps up and down when I walk through the door. Nikki my boader collie is about 3 years old now she is very nervous around new people, she was abused as a pup, she is totally frightened of plastic bags, this can only tell me one thing what the previous owner did to her when she was a couple weeks old. She is very protective of me and my mom. My blue nose is about 5 months old, her name is Addy and she is super energetic. Totally full of energy and playful. I do not have any experience with going to someone's home and watching their dogs. I am a 27 year old male but i can talk to dogs of all breeds and ages with a sweet childish voice like that gets them to wag their tail. My neighbors dog Maggie is an American pit bull and absolutely loves me. She walks over to my house all the time and puts her nose at the door and pushes on the door trying to get in. The sound automatically tells me she is there and every time I open the door she is just sitting extremely friendly and looking up at me just wagging her tail as if I am her owner. The offered to give her to me because they are moving out and I really would like to keep her its just I have my hands full already. She is such the sweetest dog.
