I am 40 years old and from Kotka and enjoy providing animal care assistance. During my school days in India, we had, Lucy- a German shepherd and Sheru- an Indian-breed dog. Both had different senses of understanding and aptitude levels. However, with the right care, training and dedication, both thrived and became beloved members of my family. Apart from that, we had one parrot -Chotu, and a rabbit. So, I feel that patients, empathy, communication, and reliability are some of the core qualities required as a pet assistant. I feel personal that positive energy is required to establish communication between you and your pet.
