Animals have been a major part of my life since I was a child. I grew up on a family farm with all sorts of animals. We also had plenty of indoor pets such as dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, and the occasional reptile. I have had years of experience house and pet sitting. In undergrad, I work with a large and small veterinarian for several months and took several animal husbandry classes. I've also worked at a doggy daycare center in the past with roughly 70 dogs per day.
