I've taken care of animals all my life (dogs, cats, birds, etc.) whether that me by own, my family's, or my friend's fur babies. My cat, Beatrice, is my literal child. I often care for my family sheltie, Grace, which includes frequent bathroom breaks, daily walks, and providing lots of attention. I have also taken care of dogs and cats (even the occasional turtle) while simultaneously house sitting for those in my life.
