I am currently working from 9 to 5 Monday through Friday so I would love to care for your furry family members while your away for the weekend or if you need someone to drop in before and after I go to work I would be happy to do so. I love going on walks and if your pet enjoys playing with toys I will gladly play with them. If your pet enjoys just hanging out and getting loved on with belly rubs and back scratches I’d be more than happy to do that too!
