I have had cats, dogs, and small mammals in my life since I was 10. I’m comfortable with big dogs and little dogs, friendly cats and standoffish cats, and rodents. I like lizards and snakes, but have no personal experience owning one (comfortable feeding and caring for them though!) The trail I typically take my dog on is 4 miles long - I’m able to care for dogs with higher exercise needs because of my fitness level. Does your dog want to walk for an hour? Done. Have a pup that prefers fetch? My throwing arm needs some work and it’s the most fun way to train! When it comes to cats, I’m very knowledgeable about cat body language and when cats need to be left alone versus wanting interaction. This makes me a great option for people who’s cats take a little more time warming up. Have rats, mice, hamsters, snakes, lizards, or other small creatures? I’m good with that. They’re adorable! I’m always up for learning about an animal and I’m meticulous about following instructions. You can feel secure knowing your pets are safe with me and I’ll care for them like I do my own - very very very very much.
