About: I’ve been pet sitting for around three years. Sometimes even for multiple days caring for animals such as bunnies(even having one myself) 2 dogs,3 chickens, a guinea pig and 3 cats all at once. I’ve cared for multiple puppies and kittens as well as bathing them and caring for ailments. I am working a 2 part times right now but mainly during nights and late evenings so mornings or nights work amazing! But I am off a good amount of days for spontaneous need for a sitter. I care for 2 in my home right now and occasionally sitting some dogs. As of now i will not be sitting in house for safety purposes.
