I have a love for animals of all sizes and ages. As I currently live in an apartment and am unable to provide a pet of my own with the attention it deserves, I would love the chance to pet sit/dog walk for your family. Although I have never been paid, I have been a pet sitter for friends and family in the past.
I've grown up with animals my whole life and moving for college I miss having animals.
