Fun Sitter Available

I've always loved taking care of all types of animals, since I was a kid I always wanted to have my own, but living in a small house wouldn't be fair, so I only had birds and fishes. While I still have no conditions to have my own puppy I enjoy taking care of others and make them happy.
