For several years, I've been taking care of pets for friends and family, usually for one or two weeks at a time. During this time, I've done all sorts of tasks like feeding, bathing, and giving oral medication to both cats and dogs. I'm a vegetarian, and my love for animals is a big part of why I chose this lifestyle when I was 15. I also volunteered at a dog shelter for a year, where I learned the basics of dog care and behavior. At home, I've always had dogs and cats, and they've all lived happily together with other animals. I really care about making sure pets feel safe and loved when their owners aren't around, and I always make sure they have fresh water and good food.
