About: I babysit dogs because in my opinion a pet is like a family member, they can’t be in a cage or crate all day, and that is why I offer my services. I am very flexible to take care of your dog because I am home all day. I can take care of your dog or cat very well because I have plenty of time to devote and look forward to spending time with your fur baby I have a big fenced backyard for your dog to play in and though I have a dog, he is ok with dogs around him and they will probably get along well
