Cat sitters in Elyria, OH
I took care of a Greyhound daily, while the people were at work. I let him out in the yard and gave him snacks. I also went to people's house to care for their cats, while they were on vacation. And would dog sit for neighbors' dogs while they were on vacation. I have done this for about 4 years.
