I have had dogs all my life and grew up with cats also. I have been caring for relatives' pets whenever they needed a sitter so I am experienced with overnight care and training other owner's dogs if needed. Unfortunately my landlord doesn't allow pets in my flat which is the only reason I don't have any dogs at the moment, which also means I would spend time with your pet at your home or take them out for the whole time of sitting them. This disadvantage, however, ensures that the pet is familiar with their surroundings and feels comfortable being taken care of, especially if it's a first time on my watch. Generally, I am a very loving person whom animals usually warm to really easily. I have many years of experience and don't shy away from a challenge.
