As someone raised on a farm I have plenty of experience with all sorts of animals. At 15, my neighbors started asking me to pet sit for them. As a pet sitter I've taken care of dogs, cats, chickens, pigs, and goats. I have a deep compassion for animals and will treat your pets like royalty. Flexible schedule and pay.
