Cat sitters in Cummington, MA
I am an animal lover and grew up in a house filled with dogs, cats, birds and bunnies. After college, I lived and worked on my aunt's goat farm and got to know horses, cows and goats (of course). I would be happy to walk your dog while you're at work or pet sit for you while out of town.
