I have grown up around dogs and cats my entire life. We have constantly owned them so taking care of them has always been second nature to me. Dog breeds I've spent a lot of time with include Chihuahuas, Dachshunds, Jack Russel Terriers, Scottish Terriers, Beagles, Labs, English Pointers and Pit Bulls (America Staffordshire Terrier). I also own one cat and have been around them growing up (family owned one outdoor and indoor cat ). I have absolutely no problem with scooping poop, picking up poop, cleaning urine up, wiping down or bathing your animal, walking (and running) animals (even pullers!), giving your pet their medicine, or hand feeding your animal. Seriously, I love all animals and will love them in your place while your not there.
