I love cats and have sat for cat sitting for my friends' cat before. I know how to take care of little fur babies and I will make sure they have everything they need.
I consider my pets to be part of my family. I treat them very well and make sure the dog gets plenty of exercise. I have a person who comes to walk my dogs twice a day while I am working as a teacher during the week, and know the necessity and importance of that.
