I have been dog sitting and cat sitting for over 2 years. While in home, I clean the house, take care of the pets and assist with other duties. I am responsible, caring, and flexible.
Growing up on a farm in Polk County, I was raised around animals and learned to care for them from an early age. Coupled with my house pet care experience, I worked with cows, donkeys, horses, and various other creatures. I have a sincere passion for pet care and a very flexible schedule!
