I have 2+ years of dog and cat sitting. When growing up we always had a dog and cat in our home so I love the furry ones. Given that I live in an apartment I am not able to own a dog and my daughter is very allergic to cats so pet sitting is my way of having a fur baby for at least a little while. CAN I GET A WOOF WOOF

I don't have a lot of experience with pets, but I know how to walk and feed animals (cats, dogs, fish etc.). I will not watch or care for pit bulls or any type of dog that is known to be mean or aggressive. I can provide play time and entertain the pet if you are away for a short time and even house sit if need be.
