I am a huge animal lover. We have always had cats and dogs around in the family for as long as I can remember. I often volunteer at animal shelters in my free time. I am usually the person my family and friends call on when they are in need of a pet sitter and I absolutely love hanging out with their furry friends.

I currently have 4 cats, so I'm comfortable with being covered in pet hair! My one rule is that any sitting (overnight or otherwise) must be done at your house; it's important to me that your pet is comfortable with me, and that's easier when they're in their own environment. I'm comfortable with any "nanny-cams" in your home,...
