I have animal sat since the age of 13. I started out caring for a neighbor's miniature ponies, cat, and dogs. After college, I did it more regularly for extra cash. I can't have pets where I live, but love animals. Animals I've cared for include the above mentioned as well as frogs, birds, and hamsters.
