Tia would make an excellent pet caregiver. I have a colony of feral and abandoned cats at my workplace, I have fed them for 10+ years. Tia helps me out regularly, whenever I am away she is the preferred feeder, twice a day - sometimes there are over 20 cats. Many of these cats have been mistreated and are very shy of humans other than me, Tia is the exception. She is very competent and loving around animals in general, but cats in particular.
