I have had a dog since I was very little. He is very aggressive and crazy, so I can handle dogs with similar behavior. I have also dog and cat sit for families in my neighborhood on and off for a few years. I love dogs or cats of all sizes and ages, and would love to walk, feed, or just play with them.
