I have 2+ years of dog and cat sitting. When growing up we always had a dog and cat in our home so I love the furry ones. Given that I live in an apartment I am not able to own a dog and my daughter is very allergic to cats so pet sitting is my way of having a fur baby for at least a little while. CAN I GET A WOOF WOOF
