Would you rather babysit a human child or a dog?

I'll take a dog in almost every circumstance - babysitting a child especially in today's society is like hell on Earth. I can easily deal with most dogs because I've had them before I could form words in my mouth. Do you agree with my choice?

I would definitely like to petsit more because it would give me less anxiety that they would get mad at me or become upset by something I say.

They are also easier to take care of than babies.

A dog or any other creature over a kid, hands down. Animals are pretty self-explanatory whereas a parent may want a different thing for their kid. i.e. favorite toy, snack, etc. Animals will love you no matter what; kids can have temper tantrums over the smallest of things.

Dog. No hesitation. I'll petsit almost any animal you have. But I'm not taking care of your damn kid.

I was going to say any animal you have, but then the sight of a boa eating one of my dogs came into my head. That's why I added the word "almost" into the thought.

So true - babysitting kids is an extremely taxing endeavor. I normally make myself busy so nobody can ask me to babysit any children.

I'll stick to normally domesticated animals like dogs, cats, horses etc. not the exotic ones.
