Many native speakers from England use the title "Nan" when speaking about their Grandma. This is because many people feel that "Grandma" is a title for old women only and they do not want to be thought of as old because they may only be between the ages of 40 - 50 for example.
If you think that the number of pets your Nan has is a lot more than what is usually normal you can say "so many," emphasising the "so."
The term "looks after" is another common way to "cares for"or "takes care of"but can also be used when only doing so for a short time for perhaps a friend or family member.
My grandma has lots of pets, her house is like a zoo.
If someone has a lot of pets, it's can be useful to explain that they have a love or passions for caring for animals to explain why they have pets.
Using similes can be useful when explaining if someone likes pets. By using the simile of a zoo it indicates that a lot of animals live somewhere.
