The moment I was old enough to have a dog of my own I immediately fell in love with animals. After that I would find any excuse to spend all of my time with animals. When I was 15 I started to become the neighborhood dog walker and have been walking dogs and house sitting both cats and dogs ever since.
I have experience pet sitting for dogs as well as cats. I'm able to dog walk feed and bath. I'm able to work with up to two animals whether it be cats, dogs, birds, small animals. I'm able to work with both large dogs and small dogs.

Between sitting kids and fur babies, I also have my own dog that is high maintenance. He's a husky so I keep him on a routine, daily walks and a diet that is best for his health. I do not own a cat however my partner does and I cat sit him all the time. I'm an animal lover, so sitting animals has never been easier for me.
