For some time now I have been watching both my close friend's three cats and dog while she is away or out of town for something. One of her cats had diabetes and required insulin shots every 12 hours and on a strict diets, as well as her two other cats as one cannot have fish and the other chicken. I have always done a great job of ensuring all their needs are met and that her dog is walked, fed and happily had the attention he needs with her away. I have also been watching my brother's black lab when he is away for work for weeks at a time. He is a high energy dog and usually forgets his size. I make sure he gets the exercise he needs as well as being fed, having water and attention. On top of both of both these experience caring for pets while people are away, I love knowing your animal will get the exercise as well as love and affection they crave while you are away.
