I have been pet sitting since the time I was even able to. I have grown up with dogs but I am a current full time college student and work so I can't commit fully to a furbaby as much as I'd want to. Luckily, pet sitting allows me to get in the cuddles and walks to keep me satiated until I can get one of my own!
