I absolutely love animals, and though I don't have any of my own at the moment, I treat them as I'd they were. From house sitting to companionship, I am open to all types of care. There are so many animals in this world who could use a little bit of love and more 1:1 focus, and I would gladly be that person.

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.
