I've always looked after neighbours dogs, including my nan's dogs. I rarely looked after cats but I can take care of them. I used to go to a boarding school were they aloud pets and owners could go away for the weekend and those who stayed and were ( or not) owners of pets could look after them. I've taken of Guinea pigs, hamsters and gerbils in my time there of four and half years. I can handle dogs pretty well as long as they are well obedient and trained but can handle younger animals like puppies that are potty trained etc...
