I have had animals in my home since I was a baby. I have had two cats and two dogs in my 20 years of life :) I currently attend college in Chicago and the first job I had up there was pet sitting because I can't stay away from animals! I am comfortable with all sizes and temperaments, from the smallest, hyper puppy to the largest old buddy! I am very attentive to animals emotions and behaviors and want the least stressful, fun-filled experience I can have with your friend. I understand your pet is family and I will care for them so.
