Hi! I am well experienced with dog and cats mostly but I have cared for fish and birds. As an owner of cats and the former owner of dogs I love them all. I am not afraid of large dogs and haven't met a cat I don't like. They're all good boys and girls. I have been working with dogs since high school.
