Although I don't own my own dog, I do live with two small dogs, both seniors: a Maltipoo (who fools everyone into thinking she's a puppy) and a Bichon Frise, I regularly take them out for walks, adventured and dog sit when my friend is out . They've been on a few hikes with me, with Seven Sisters trail as the most ambitious one. Other than that I have grown up with a staffie who has my whole heart and is nearing his 16th birthday. Also have experience hand rearing French bulldog puppies. I also regularly dog sit a border collie cross lab about 3 times a year for 2 weeks at a time whilst the owners are away on holiday. I love being out and walking so having a dog with me has always been best company. I'll have my own dog one day but for now looking after others is a great alternative. I don't take unvaccinated pets into my own or to look after, only vaccinated.
