I have school monday- friday but am always available after and on weekends! I can pretty much walk every 0-2 hours (unless in school) and feed when it’s necessary.

19. Ashlie s.
About: I've been sitting for pet lovers for a while now and enjoy all breads. If needed I'm not afraid to give medications. How can I help you make your animal more comfortable while you are away? I work 12 hour shifts Tue-thur but I'm free and always home Friday through Monday. I'm flexible with times of drop offs and can possibly help drop your animal off to you if you plan on boarding. I live close to two lakes that your dog would enjoy walking. My son (9) loves any pet and has always been gentle with animals, he would love to play and give your animal treats if you allow your dog/cat to eat them
