I have been caring for pets for over 10 years. I cut back on boarding in my home when we had our son, but I still enjoy dog walking and drop on visits to get our weekly dog fix. I also have experience with caring for cats as well.
I have been pet sitting for my neighbors for many years when they go on vacation. I love animals and am very reliable. I live in the Nottingham area, so I would like to stay in that area if you need a sitter. I am very loving to the animals and they all take to me. I will not take care of snakes. Thank you.
