I love animals! I am a cuddler with furry babies. I took care of two golden doodles for almost 4 years, together with the 3 children I cared for in that household. When the family went on vacation, I stayed in the house with the dogs sometimes up to 11-13 days at time. I make sure they're fed, walked and loved.
