I have had 10 years of personal experience with dogs of varying sizes and cats as well. I have a golden retriever myself as well as a burmese cat back at home in Virginia! I have no allergies to dogs or cats. I am comfortable with picking up after animals if need be;) as well as taking care of more than one animal at once. I have reliable transportation to and from location. Will leave notes if anything happens, and will send lots of pictures if wanted! You can trust me to love and care about your furry friends! I always have my phone on me if any concerns or needs may come up or change. I live in an apartment with a huge courtyard that is fenced in where your pets can run and play! Thank you!
