There have always been pets in my home as far back as I can remember. Always at least a cat and a dog. I serve as one of the main pet caregivers in my family: feeding, brushing, walking, cleaning litter boxes, carrying poop bags, driving to the groomer, etc. I've raised cats from a few months through adulthood and my family has fostered many dogs, including two pregnant mothers who gave birth on our property. Though I was quite young, I aided in the care of these newborn puppies, one of whom got adopted into our pet family. I also have experience caring for horses, fish, a bearded dragon, and very recently even rats. I am always willing to learn a new skill when it comes to the care of animals.
