New to this site, but have done lots of cat-sitting. I own my own grumpy old lady cat.

I’ve pet-sat and house-sat for friends many times. I've also looked after friends’ cats in my house longer term, animals warm up to me quickly.
I’ve given meds to cats lots of times. I've never given an injection to a cat, but I'm happy to if you to show me how.
I'm very good at coaxing out nervous cats. I give them space, letting them sniff my hand and chatting to them but letting them come to me in their own time. A friend’s cat hid behind my desk for the first 2 days, but he quickly became a cuddle-monster.
I have several friends with dogs, and have spent lots of time with them, including walking them (and picking up poo). I'm happy to give them meds, but would need showing how.
I used to own guinea pigs and gave them baths and meds several times.
I'm happy to look after other animals, but would want clear instructions to make sure I'm looking after them properly.
My cat is a grump, she doesn't start fights but does swipe back. She's on specialised food and grazes through the day, so I'd need your pet to not eat from her bowl if they were unsupervised at my house (or be fine with being in a different room). Or I can come to your, I’m very respectful of other people's homes :)
