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 currently run my own kennel called diamond's kennels. I have spare kennels and a very large backyard to be accommodating for the dog to be boarded here. I also pet sit at the animals home. I run my own cleaning business so I leave the house nice and tidy when I'm done pet sitting.
