I could not recommend her more for anyone looking for good care.”


20. Kakaesha S.
About: I've dog sat multiple times in the past. I also have 2 cat friends, a tortoise, and multiple black mollies. I can administer medication to animals, train my cat Eugene to give me his paw, play, and do water changes for my mollies. I feed my cat Rumi twice a day, Tortellini once a day, take care of litter, and water changes for my fish every 4-5 days. Other than this, I have open availability. In my clients home, I would need to borrow their materials such as a leash. In my complex, we have poop bags available so that won't be an issue.
