My family has had pets for all of my 28 years of life. I've been successfully able to care for my parent's pets when they are out of town. I make sure that all pets are well taken care of (i. e. make sure they used the bathroom, ate, walked, played with, etc.). I'm used to cats, dogs, and reptiles (mostly lizards and snakes).
