I'm a life-long animal lover. I've enjoyed having cocker spaniels, a cat, a beagle, and a chiweenie as pets over the years. I've fed, given medicine to, walked, jogged with, cleaned up messes/litter boxes for, and bathed them. I'm great with animals, so I'd be happy to help your family out however I can.
