My husband and I live in Sam Hughes Neighborhood with our 16 year old son and 5 year old daughter. We have 2 goldfish, Goldie and Tom, and a tortoise named Yolanda. We don't have any dogs of our own, but I love them! We have a large fenced in yard that has a separate dog-run area as well. I have been house sitting and dog sitting for over 6 years and am very skilled and reliable. I've taken a cat to the vet when her owners were in Mexico and left work when their dog got out. Will go above and beyond to care for your pet as you would if you were there. I am home with my daughter on weekdays and she loves dogs too!
