You can set it directly.

Technically, what you get in this case is a custom property set - 
with each element being a property in that set. But for your purposes 
the distinction doesn't matter, because you address the properties in 
a custom property set with array notation:

   set the customProperties["pets"] of this card to myPetInventory -- array
   put the pets["dog"] of this card into field "Number of Dogs"
   set the pets["cat"] of this card to 14
