I have a cat back home and love him! But I am also a dog person and have taken care of roommates dogs plenty of times in the past. I love taking them on walks and bringing them to the dog park if they get along well with other dogs. I really enjoy taking care of animals and treat them as my own. If taking care of your pet rest assured that I would send you updates and photos of them while you are away (just as I would want someone to do if they were taking care of my cat). I have plenty of space in my apartment for a dog or cat and would enjoy their companionship. I am very willing to meet any special needs your pet may have as well, overall I am very accommodating and would love to take care of your pet.
