Yeah, small animals are totally different. Because you CAN bring them to your home to sit for them.

The dogs I sit for are BIG and can be demanding and they live in an affluent part of CT (West Hartford) One of the dogs, Cooper, will grab my shoe or a piece of my clothing to get my attention. I learned real fast that you need to put things up high or they will end up in the back yard. A pink pair of summer shorts comes to mind and makes me laugh. We call him the dog from hell. They're all really great dogs, though.
