Don't be scared by the pricing, it is absolutely negotiable depending on the situation! I grew up with dogs and cats, and even owned a snake at one point in time! So I know what it takes to love and care for your pet, as mine lived long, healthy lives and they were attached to the hip they were so happy with me! On top of this, I used to babysit for my mom's friends! They had an older cat, a middle aged dog with diabetes who required medicine daily at specific times, and a younger dog with severe separation anxiety. Anytime they would go on vacation they would ask me to stay at their house for the duration to care for their pets, and it was one of my favorite jobs growing up! I am more than happy to provide these references as well.
