I have always loved animals! When I was younger, I had fish; in second grade, I was finally able to convince my mom (on Mother's Day, no less!) to finally let me bring home a kitten. My parents currently have 2 cats, and I love taking over their care when I'm visiting. While we have only had cats in our home, I spent my middle school and high school years (and some college summers) petsitting my neighbors' two wonderful dogs. I walked the dogs on weeknights when they couldn't get home from work early enough. I also cared for them for a full week at a time when they went on vacation - walking, feeding, and playing with them. After all those years, they became like a second set of pets to me! My current apartment does not allow me to have pets, and I would love to help you out and spend some quality time with yours!
