I would care for my next door neighbor's animals as well as many of my nearby family members on and off for many years. I have cared for lizards, rabbits, hamsters, cats, and dogs. I know what to look for in animal behavior and I know not all animals have the same needs. Raised and trained 2 puppies who are now adult dogs.
