I currently have 4 cats, so I'm comfortable with being covered in pet hair! My one rule is that any sitting (overnight or otherwise) must be done at your house; it's important to me that your pet is comfortable with me, and that's easier when they're in their own environment. I'm comfortable with any "nanny-cams" in your home,...
