I have had animals in my home since I was born. We started off with dogs and then started getting cats. I have had small and large dogs, including a senior dog with diabetes that we had to give shots to. I now have 4 cats of my own named Pumpkin, Sherlock, Watson, and Cleo. I want to make sure that while your gone whether it's just for a while or for a vacation that they feel as loved as they do while your home! Animals are part of the family!
