I have had both dogs and cats over the course of 40 years. Recently had a Siberian husky that had diabetes and required insulin shots twice a day. Had a cat that had the same issue several years ago. I miss walking Summer (the husky) and the companionship. Have in the past taken care of multiple pets at a time. At one time I had two dogs and three cats. Lately a cat from the neighborhood was coming to the door and I was going to take her to the vet to have her checked and fixed when she no longer showed up. Earning extra money while enjoying the company but not the expense, sounds like a great deal. Love being around animals and would enjoy taking care of your pet.
