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.

I have experience caring for animals and would love a pet-sitting job. My family has a small farm, so I'm comfortable handling various animals, and I frequently cat-sit and dog-sit.
