I have been a vet assistant, zookeeper and have lots of exotic and bird knowledge. I volunteer at Sea Biscuit rescue and love animals! We are empty-nesters now and the first time we have no pets of our own. We regularly pet sit for friends and family and love the short term interaction and pet cuddles that animals bring to your life. I am home all day and write for a local magazine. My hours are flexible and would love to get out and do some dog walking or checking on your pet in your home. We are also flexible if you small dog wants an overnight visit here with us. We would love to spoil your dog! We don't mind if they lay on the couch or even our bed! I live in Downtown Southport - and there are plenty of cool places nearby for walks - Franklin Square Park is practically my back yard and Southport waterfront park is only one block.
