I have taken care of animals my whole life and started housesitting professionally about 7 years ago. I have 4 of my own cats that I have cared for most of my life including my elderly cat that I got when she was a kitten. Since then I have taken care of many different kinds of animals in different settings. I have years of experience with elderly dogs and cats that need timely medical attention as well as kittens and puppies and households with multiple animals. Some of the dogs I have cared for have behavioral issues or required medical attention several times a day; including diabetic dogs that need to be given insulin injections and also have their blood sugar levels checked throughout the day. Some other animals I have taken care of include a koi pond and other various fish and fish tanks and Guinea Pigs.
