12. Audrey & Karson W.
“Audrey is great with all animals. We have gotten many animals since we have lived together. She has always been very dedicated and sweet to them. We have even had to struggle to take care of a dying leopard gecko together and she was super attentive. As of now we have three adult crested geckos, 9 fish, 2 baby crested geckos, one bearded dragon, one corn snake, one dog, and two cats. Taking care of all these animals is no easy feat especially when we work and take care of our son.”
