I have done some dog walking for a couple of years before working at a dog day care center as a day camp counselor. I enjoyed spending time with the dogs, playing, cuddling, and just being there if a dog needed me. I have cat sat for previous feline parents and have administered medications when required. My household not only includes the 3, two legged human species; but, also two rats, 1 rabbit, 1 bird, betta fish (with snail), 1 cat, and 1 dog. I had gerbils and hamsters at some point as well. Most of these critters were for my daughters growing up. But, with all creatures my daughters adopted, Mom has become the care taker of most of their pets. I consider them my "grandbabies".
