Having grown up with animals, and spending a few months working with another animal boarder, I have a profound respect for pets of all pedigree. I spent most of the time walking, feeding, and playing with the animals that we were taking care of. I love working with larger animals, especially those with behavioral problems. I am a large man (6'9"), and have little issue with even somewhat aggressive animals. While working with other animal owners and hoarders, I was typically tasked with taking care of the large, hyperactive, or unwieldy animals, and handled them with great success. One of my favorite dogs to take care of was a rescued German Shepherd named Sadie, who was malnourished and abused by her previous owners, lending to trust issues towards anyone she was unfamiliar with. Sadie and I spent three days getting to know one another before she trusted me. After those three days, she hardly left my side.
