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.
