I have been a dog walker/ animal sitter for a few years now. I've had animals my whole life. I've had chickens, bunnies, roosters, ducks, fish, cats and dogs. One of my friends has a farm, so I've been around many farm animals, and I have helped take care of them. I love all animals, any size, doesn't matter, even reptiles.
