I grew up in almost a ZOO of animals - German Shepherds, cockatiels, TONS of cats, turtles, you name it - and I loved them all from a young age. I started babysitting 2-5 kids at a time around the age of 13, along with all pets in those houses, and did that until I was old enough to actually take jobs. I have yet to meet a cat or dog I didn't get along with, and I melt over the vast majority of them the minute I meet them. I'm well educated (BA from NC State) and job hunting at the moment since I'm new to the area but am looking for some 'filler' work that will make my soul smile. I currently have just one cat due to lack of space but I take care of some 15 more that roam my property, as well as my mother in-law's Dachshund when she's away. I'd love to meet your fur or scale baby too! As long as your scaly baby isn't 'nippy,' I'll happily feed them any food and/or hold them while I'm there as part of the visit for free (I've owned and cared for several types of snakes of different sizes etc). My services aren't exclusive to certain breeds. I've had great experiences in the past with Huskies, Chihuahuas, Dachshunds, German Shepherds, Shar Pei's, Boxers, Dalmatians, Poodles, and more.
