About: For a few years I’ve taken care of these cute little dogs, one has anxiety so I minister medicine in the food and looked after if they were anxious while they sleep. I currently looking for work after finishing college. I love animals so I feel like I would rather care for them while you’re away or busy with work during the week. I feel like while you’re away, for you and your pet/s sake you can be stress free if they stay in their calming environment home. So I’ll pet sit your dog or cat in the clients home.
