I'm an experienced pet sitter who has previously dog sat in home for a family for weeks at a time. I have my own family dogs and love all doggos. I am experienced in other animal care as well, from birds/fish/horses onward. Trustworthy and reliable to ensure your pets are cared for and loved on while you're away.
I have natural knack for animals, an animal whisperer if you will! I've had a chihuahua for 11 years, & a German Shepard Blue heeler Mix for 6 years. Currently also have 17 chickens! I've owned snakes, iguanas and other small lizards, cats, dogs, fish, birds, and even a baby alligator.
