A little about me, currently I'm in college and, after I get my degree, I'm hoping to go to vet school. I have 2 years of experience pet sitting. I've watched over pets with special needs that include taking medication, anxiety, and a kitty with cerebellar hypoplasia (wobbly cat syndrome).
I provide dog and cat sitting in your own home. I grew up with dogs and currently have two golden retrievers of my own. I love animals and have 10 years of experience sitting for both dogs and cats.
