I love animals and my pets are my family. I have been a pet Mom for the pat 30 years. I would treat your animals with the love and care that they deserve. I would prefer to take care of cats but small dogs are fine, this is because I have problems with my back and I can only walk small dogs or very well behave larger dogs.
