i have a great compassion for animals and I treated them like my own children. Ive live with pets almost all my life. I've experience taking care of animals by taking them out for walk or take them to the park, owners asked me a favor to check their dogs or cats while they are gone all day by taking dogs out to potty, feeding them, and stay at least 30 minutes to one hour to keep them company so they feel safe knowing they are being taken care of. I even leave lights, tv or radio on at night if the owners expected to be home late. I will follow your rules as requested "Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." - Anatole France
