When growing up I was always surrounded by pets, I don't think there was ever a time in my life when my family didn't have pets. I have been hired by many family friends to watch their dogs while they were out of town. Some of those experiences were even watching them over night! I love pets and love being around them!

I don't have professional experience in dog sitting, but I've had my own dog for 14 years, so I know how to take care of them. However, to be honest, I'm a little bit afraid of too big dogs. Also I can definitely take care of cats and hamsters. If you need me to look after another type of pet, we can discuss it.
