I am a pet owner myself and have one dog (Chihuahua mix) and a cat. Both are rescues and they are my family. I also rescued a terrier mix dog that was with me for 15 years before she passed away. I do not have a lot of experience with large dogs but love them as well. Would be able to provide dog sitting in your home of needed.
