I've grown up with dogs, cats, horses and ponies my whole life. My mom is a practicing small animal veterinarian where I not only spent many of my childhood hours but also worked at her practice for several years. Very comfortable around animals, and while I have a cat--I miss having a dog so would love to watch yours (or your cat!). I have a profesional job during the day and this is a source of a second income and opportunity to spend time with dogs since I am currently without one of my own!
