I have been house sitting for friends and family for several years off and on. I can stay overnight in your home, or check on the animals once or twice a day, according to your needs. I love dogs, and have experience with cats and fish. I have given dogs oral medication, hiding it in their food, and having to trick them into taking it occasionally. I have watched multiple dogs at a time, keeping them from eating out of each other's bowls to ensure everyone is eating. Along with taking care of your pets, if staying the night, I can open/close blinds, get mail and paper, turn on and off lights, and always clean up after myself. I wash the sheets and towels used before I leave, clean any dishes I use, and take out the trash. There's no reason you should come home from vacation to my mess, I clean up after myself, and take care of your animals to boot!
