I have dogs, cats, and parakeets in my home. I have experience with ferrets, sugar gliders, chinchillas, chickens, horses, and all sizes of dogs. It's not just spending time with animals, it's that you also get to help them, if their owner is away. They may feel lonely or scared, you get to make the animal feel better and not alone. I enjoy walking dogs, even cats to give them time to be in fresh air. Taking time to make sure an animal has play time, meal time, and rest is important. This is something I enjoy and don't feel it's a job, but more of a bonding experience. If the animal is used to someone spending time with them, I want them to feel loved.
