I've been a pet lover & owner my entire life! My mom was our very own Dr. Doolittle and brought home all sorts of animals during my childhood. My favorites have become dogs & cats as a result! I can do anything from cleaning litter boxes, to dog walks, playtime, or just casual sitting. I can't wait to meet your fur babies!
