I've been taking care of pets since I was a little girl. I am very comfortable caring for dogs, cats, geckos, snakes, frogs, spiders, rats, and I don't have any reservations about other pets I didn't list. I love all animals, and any pets that would be new to me I'd love to learn more about to enhance my pet care skills!
