I've been sitting, both cats and dogs, for friends in NYC for over 20 years--and for clients over 5 years. I have loved all animals my entire life. True story... when I meet dogs on the street and give them eye contact, they come to me. I'm a pet snuggler and give loads of attention to all animals!
