I have cared for the pets of others throughout the years, including a variety of animals such as cats, dogs, and even fish. Some of those animals had special needs, such as requiring the administering of medications, and others were perfectly normal. I even used to cat sit for a man who adopted a formerly feral cat that was not fully tame. I have dealt with a variety of feeding schedules and other such needs....

Most importantly, I am someone who has my own animal family. I have two cats, both of whom have birthdays rapidly approaching. My oldest will be 12 and my youngest will have his first birthday! I also have a hamster, who is 1 1/2, and is in early retirement, as I cannot have her as a class pet in my current position (I'm a teacher and she was a class pet for my former classroom. I have a carrier for her and she would travel between home and school, so I think she finds her new life a little boring, as she seems anxious to get out the moment she hears my voice nearby her and will come out to greet me.). I also have a betta fish, but there is less to say on him, mostly as he's a new addition and has not yet shown me any quirks to brag on...
I love my animals and, honestly, would be at a loss without them, particularly the cats. I am a cat person, but I also love dogs (I have always been a cat lover and my little brother the dog lover, despite us both loving the other animal, even with our leanings.). I have spent quite a bit of time around dogs, cats, fish, mice, a hamster, a rabbit, crabs, and even triops. (During my student teaching, my cooperating teacher shared my love of animals, so I spent the year chasing after the spoiled rabbit who did not like returning to the cage at the end of the day).
My pets are important to me and I do a lot to try to give back to them. Very few want to know the process I went through to find dry cat food that was high quality, met nutritional requirements, and also met my senior cat's preference. Then again, my current set-up takes a little explanation, although it is really quite simple. My point being is that I care a lot about my little ones and I take their care very seriously. I cannot always give them what I want, such as a really cool cat tree, but I do my best to give them what I can to ensure that they are happy and healthy. I take caring for animals very seriously.
