Animal Lover - Animal Walker, Sitter, Cuddler, Whatever You Need!
I have owned a cat for 6 years. I have cat and dog sat many times, which have included walks and overnight stays. I cannot accommodate boarding any animals because I own a cat myself and she doesn't get along with other animals.
I am a college grad with animal experience who can sit your pets in your own home. What I can offer to you and your pets is patience and a genuine love of animals. I have experience with dogs and cats mostly and am comfortable with walking, feeding, and grooming pets.
