I have always had pets so I have plenty of experience with them. I love being around them and enjoy having them stay with us. I have a 6 year old male (neutered) golden retriever. He is friendly with people and other dogs. He is a retired autism assistant dog. I mind 1 or 2 dogs maximum at a time. 

We live opposite a park for walks and have a secure enclosed garden. I also take them to other local parks/Killiney Hill etc and can give them 2-3 walks a day as needed. They get plenty of playtime and attention too. Our home would suit dogs that are used to settling to sleep downstairs at night in their bed as they would sleep in our kitchen at night. We can't facilitate dogs that bark continuously if left in a separate room for short periods as I may need to go out for short times during the day to drop/pick up the kids etc. Our home would not suit dogs with separation anxiety issues. 

 We are a non-smoking household with 2 children (6 and 13).

I also have experience with cats. Although I don't mind them in my home, I do call ins to feed them/change litter/give medication etc. I do call ins for dogs too.

We often have rabbits staying with us too. They stay in a separate room in the house in large xpens.
