I have experience caring for dogs... from Cockapoo & American Eskimo up to Golden Retrievers and cats. I used to have a cat and have had 2 guinea pigs. I can happily bring in mail, newspapers, water plants, and usually pet/house sit should you require that or can visit daily; whichever suits your needs.

I simply love animals! I have two small dogs and a parrot and I understand how stressful it can be to worry about having them taken good care of when you go on vacation or work a long day. I would care for your pets as if they are my very own which equals a lot of playing fetch and belly rubs!
