''to be good with..''

Hi, I have been looking for the best way to say 'I am good with' on this site but I am only finding answers for 'I am good at'

For example: I am good with pets

Soy buena con mascotas?

OR does I am good with not really exist in Spanish and approaching this from another angle better, e.g. I am good at looking after pets.

Sorry for the bad English I am just learning that too. Thank you for the help in advance.

From what I've seen - Julian's 'ser bueno para + algo' is more common in Latin America whereas Franco's example of 'se me dan bien' is favoured in Spain.

In Mexico: "soy bueno con las mascotas" to indicate you have a good heart and you treat pets kindly. "Soy bueno para las mascotas" .... "I know how to take care of pets / am good at taking care of pets."

"Soy bueno para la natación" .... "I am good at swimming."
