I've always been a lover of anything with a heart beat! I grew up owning so many animals from dogs and cats to iguanas and saltwater fish. I've dealt with puppies and kittens and raised them to be the loyal companions that they are today. I've had a 55 gal saltwater ecosystem under my care and raised new hatchlings to grow into the mini dinosaurs they were meant to be. I have the least experience with birds and rodents, but have been exposed to African Greys, Ferrets, Hamsters and a few others. I'm very good and very patient with all breeds and even stubborn dogs who just want to be fed and nothing else. I even have experience with handicapped animals. I do not have too much experience with animals that are pregnant and unfixed; like dogs or cats in heat. But I can guarantee that your loved ones will be absolutely cared for and loved no matter what. My cat can attest for that one! (He's SUPER spoiled).
