I've had dogs all of my life. My dogs are just like my children. I love them to pieces. I have also had a cat during my college years. I'm also very familiar with exotic pets as my two sons always had some sort of pet including Bearded dragons, water dragons, several types of snakes, guinea pigs, turtles.... the list goes on. ....
I am primarily a babysitter but I also love all animals, no exceptions. I have no allergies and I am willing to house-sit and pet-sit overnights for those long vacations. I have no allergies.
