Dog and cat lover with attention to detail. I always make sure every pet is happy and confident in its surroundings and make sure body language is observed in particular with difficult or shy dogs. I have been walking neighbours' dogs and many dogs on various dog shelters for over a decade and grew up with all sorts of animals on the countryside and now live right on the beach with a fully enclosed garden bordering the beach path, I have a high wall between garden and beach meaning hyperactive dogs can have a quiet time. I have a hip high gate but can enhance this to chest high if a very large dog might be staying. For the rainy season most dogs love the view from my conservatory or my log burner.

I have a cat at home that happens to be very old (she is thirteen now) and she is unfazed by dogs as long as they are smart enough not to sit straight in front of her favourite cat tree :)

I work mostly on a computer and can accommodate various times for walks as well as stay overs if a dog owner might have to go away over night on short notice- this assumes the dog is content with a cat being in the house - I have a large car and can pick up where needed. I have several harnesses to ensure safe transport.
