While I have never officially done pet sitting before, I grew up on a farm with many different animals. I am most familiar with cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, and reptiles. I have also worked with larger animals such as cows, pigs, and horses. I am confident in my animal care abilities as I have cared for them most of my life.
