I'm good with pets. I owned dogs and cats most of my life. I learned obedience and hunting dog training years ago. I recently (within 1 month ago) dog/house sat for 2 small dogs while owners took 2 week cruise vacation. The dogs were easy to care for. Understanding the psychology of the animal and how it communicates is key.
