I have been pet sitting for a little over two years. I usually pet sit in my own home. I have a medium-sized, pet friendly house. I have 5 acres, and half of my yard is fenced in. I do have goats and chickens, but they are fenced in their own area of the yard. I have doggie and cat beds, if your pet is under 15 pounds. I can provide dog or cat food, but I only keep one brand, so you will have to check with me on that. Pet toys galore! My lovely neighbor is a vet, so if there is ever any kind of emergency, if absolutely needed, that is where I would go. Dogs and cats are not the only pets I am experienced sitting. For example, I have a client who drops off his ferret every once in awhile. I do have a four year old son, who is also an animal lover, and knows how to treat pets. As for check-ins and walks, I can be an early riser, I am available last minute because I work from home, and I am super flexible when it comes to cancellations.
