I used to be a dog sitter and walker through Pet care center but have shifted my focus more so to child care, but I have a huge love for furry friends! I am comfortable with any size dogs and I love cats as well!
Brianna can also help with: Pet walking, pet transportation
My family has had pets for all of my 28 years of life. I've been successfully able to care for my parent's pets when they are out of town. I make sure that all pets are well taken care of (i. e. make sure they used the bathroom, ate, walked, played with, etc.). I'm used to cats, dogs, and reptiles (mostly lizards and snakes).
