I've had pets since I was a kid, we were always taking care of all the neighborhood strays, and most of the neighborhood had us on speed dial when their pets got out (we would play with whatever came in the yard). I've also worked for a year and a half at a pet resort where I was trained on Animal CPR (though would need to be recertified as it has been some time), how to care for pets in stressful situations, and assisted with daily assistance with comfort care and feeding. I've cared for dogs, cats, birds, parrots, hamsters, fish, and some lizards. I have patience with senior pets as well, and will show them the patience and love that they need.
