My animals seem to really like her too!”

18. Jacob & Pei Chen Lee F.
About: We just cared for a shiba husky for 3.5 months in our apartment and enjoyed it so much. My wife and I split duties and never had issues with being out of the house too long. Also took care of another husky mix for 5 nights and loved it! Even more since then! We can’t wait to meet your doggy or cat :) I work full time as well my wife. Somebody is in the house at least until 10 AM then back at 5 PM. I do have some over nights for work but my wife is amazing at pet care and we never had any schedule issues for the last 7 months. We don’t have anything obvious for Pets to eat and destroy. We limit any safety hazards and very strict on food around the house as well as never leaving the front or back door open.
