I've cared for and loved pets of all varieties since I was very young. I've trained puppies of all temperaments so I have experience with young, excitable dogs. I've been bitten before and know well enough how to handle those situations. I also have experience with dogs in their elder years and understand that sometimes they need help up that tough step and that they like their food a certain way. I've also had several cats throughout my life and am even have experience with some more exotic pets like iguanas, hermit crabs, geckos, snakes, and have had limited experience with birds as well.
