Cat sitters in Monterey, CA
I started caring for pets through my babysitting jobs. When my babysitting families would go out of town I typically housesit and pet sit for them.
Growing up I had two cats and one dog in the household. In my adult life I've had a bunny, cat, and beta fish.
I love animals so much and love visiting with and caring for them....
