I can provide dog or cat sitting in your own home. I have watched pets for several friends and family members. Growing up, I had a large dog for 16 years. I currently have two cats. I am familiar with caring for both dogs and cats.
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.
