I can follow instructions pretty well. Tell me to play with your pet for 10 minutes? Alright I'll do that. Make cute noises at your pet? Alright I can do that as well. If I can't remember the instructions then I'll write them down to remember :) I used to pet sit for my cousins who both have dogs. They were really different from each other when it came to walking them. One was very well behaved and if he strayed from the path then I'd just tug a bit on his collar and he would fall back in line (the tugging was per my cousin's decision if her dog so happened to stray). The other dog would pick fights with other dogs and start barking whenever he saw a random dog on the lawn. Silly, but amusing at the same time.
