Hello! I have actually been doing this for many years, staying at homes while owners are away on vacation for up to a month at times! It started with co-workers telling their friends about how much of an animal lover I am, and my number was given to them to contact me about housesitting. Sometimes the homes have one dog, sometimes they have multiple cats, dogs, reptiles, birds, etc. I have had many pets of my own growing up, and I really love any and all animals. I have worked with difficult behaviors and learn to make it work for them. I always want the pet(s) to be happy while their owners are away and keep their schedule as normal as possible. I try to be home as much as possible the weeks I housesit as well, I always feel bad leaving the animals at all so your pet will always have lots of attention and love. I also love to take a million pictures as long as the owner is okay with it! And I can send cute ones throughout the week :)
