While I don't have significant experience with animals, I'd cherish each and every pet that I'd take care of while taking care of the business that I myself need to handle. As a Vanderbilt University student, the responsibilities are numerous and schedules are often hectic. However, by taking care of a pet, my schedule wouldn't simply revolve around my own personal needs or affairs: it would revolve around me and the pet. I'd shower the companion with affection while continuing to attend my extracurricular activities, showing him or her around, introducing him or her to new friends, and playing games with him or her. Moreover, as I am a very careful and cautious person, I would make sure that the pet was comfortable, making sure no issues arose, and becoming more than a pet-sitter -- I'd be a loving friend.
