I have been pet sitting for about 15years. I can either stay at the house, have the pet at my house, do drops ins and walks. I can also pick up mail, water plants and if anything else is needed we can discuss as needed. As you go on vacation, I just wsnt you to know that your fur baby is in great hands. I believe our pets become family. There really isn't anything like it. The bond one has with their pet, is so special. At my house we have 1 golden retriever who is the nicest and sweetest dog ever and is trained as a service dog and also gets along great with other dogs. We also gave an outdoor cat that is about 12 years old.
