Hi! I have had dogs and cats all my life. Retired from Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Wanted to work with animals all my life but had to persue another career. Have been volunteering at the taunton animal shelter 2 days per week and love it. Have been there for about 2 to 3 years. Can walk or sit with your "child " mon., thurs., fri., and sat. Can sit up to 8 hours per day or walk when you need. Can do the same if you have cats at home too. Can't do overnights due to family obligations. There was no option but I can only sit in your home. I have 1 cat (that was a ferrel stray and he doesn't like other dogs or cats). Look forward to meeting you and "yours". Unfortunately, I do not have professional experience to speak of, but love goes a long way. You are more than welcome to call my supervisor at the animal shelter Thank you.
