In terms of my experience, I have been a pet owner for many years including one cat, one dog and three rabbits. I have also owned and raised two geese and an emu from the eggs. I learned to ride and tend to large and small horses, like my mum before me. My mum and I took in a tortoise from a neighbor who moved house and left him. We would also tend to donkeys, alpacas, wallabies, goats, and pigs on a friend's farm in the evenings. I would also care for my neighbors' pets while they were on holiday, including full care for one cat, three fish and two guinea pigs.
