I have spent years walking, grooming, and housesitting dogs and cats. I started in high school cat-sitting for lawyers who were gone frequently. I also house-sat and watched cats, dogs, ducks, and chickens for family friends over holidays and family vacations. I have frequently house-sat my sister's dogs and cat when they have been gone on vacations. I truly love animals and strive to ensure that they receive the love and care that they would receive from their parents. I have a flexible schedule and love long walks in all kinds of weather. I am a soothing and calming presence for animals who are stressed when their owners are gone. My sister's dog has an anxiety disorder so I am used to giving medicine and providing comfort to all kinds of animals.
