I've had a calming effect on animals for as long as I can remember. I had a dog when I was 8 and numerous cats that we adopted. I've taken care of my friend's dogs and also sat for numerous family members. I have experience changing litter boxes, refreshing food and water, walking, bathing and other grooming, playing, and cuddling. In college I worked for a family that traveled a lot and I stayed at their home for weeks at a time with their two dogs and cat. I hope I'm the perfect match for you and your pets!
