I've helped out with my family's pets and have been a regular pet sitter at my mom's friend's house. I've watched her pets so far a week minimum since they usually travel out of state and the longest i've stayed is a whole month. Her cat and dog love it when I come over (Well as happy as a cat can be) and of course lots of pets for the puppy. I also like to find ways to make food time interesting. Like getting an empty toilet paper tube and putting some food into the middle part. Dogs usually figure it out the fastest but it works for cats too, though they also give up the fastest. I wake up around 8:30AM (Before Daylight Savings) and I don't fall asleep until around 2:30AM (The next day)
