I've been an owner of small dogs, big dogs, fluffy dogs, shy dogs, loud dogs, hyper dogs, old dogs, and veryyy strong dogs. My two roommates have also always had some of their own and are two dog lovers. As much as I can sit at home all day with your dog and let them out in the yard for their business, I also love to go on walks with them, from 10 min to 3 hours, I'm happy with it all. I also love playing with them all day long and cuddling with them on the sofa. And the only reason I don't have a dog of my own at the moment is because I travel too much during winter and summer breaks and it simply wouldn't be fair to them. Besides taking care of my own pets, I've also been a sitting for our neighbors and family pets. It's something I'm very comfortable doing.
