I have been pet sitting since I was about ten years old and have experience from dogs and cats to tortoises, turtles, rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, and parrots. I have dealt a lot with sick and older dogs, some of the dogs requiring several medications a day, bandages, and help moving place to place. I also have experience dealing with younger dogs with anxiety too that require a lot special attention and need to sleep in the bed with me. I have also pet sat blind dogs and have no problem with size of breed, or breeds deemed "aggressive." I take the dogs I pet sit on daily walks (unless asked not to or unable) and play with them whenever I'm there. I love animals and truly wish that your absence is pleasant for both parties- human and four legged! I can stay the night in your home overnight if requested. If you need me to get the mail or water your plants, just let me know and I'll be happy to do it!
