All my life, I've had a dog and helped train them both. I also had a parakeet named Stinky. I've also house-sat while taking care of dogs and a single cat multiple times. I can handle 1 cat at a time, but any more and my allergies start acting up. I have my own transportation and a personal love of snuggling dogs.
