I have been caring for pets since the age of 7, starting with my family's two greyhounds & two birds, and expanding soon after to pet-sitting for neighbors. I have watched dogs, cats, fish, rabbits, and birds for over 20 years, with no incidents. I watched a dachshund requiring twice daily medication, and I have also cared for cats requiring injections. Since I wish to spend more time with animals, and working in a low-stress job helping others, pet care is the perfect solution. I currently have a cuckoo little black cat named Birdy, and a mellow beta fish, named Brudda. I really love all pets (except tarantulas...sorry)- but I miss spending time with dogs and would adopt in an instant if my landlord permitted. Recently I've pet sit for two active dogs (large and mid-sized) who loved the dog park, and a loving and beautiful cat who adored her brush. I frequently pet sit for my neighbors two cats (and formerly a bird) and my cousin's cat and beta fish as well.
