I own two sweet lady pit-bull mixes! One I have owned for 8 years and the other for a short 3. I'm no stranger to cleaning up messes, and the playfulness and affection necessary to keep these furry babies happy! I've never owned a cat, but the ones i've met have been lovely. No matter how big, small or slobbery, I'd be happy to love your babies while you're away! I'm a sucker for bully breeds who need the extra love and any pup or cat needing attention. Some things your pet will enjoy; I have a good sized backyard enclosed by a fence where he/she can play, leashes for walks, snacks and toys to play with. Please let me know if your pup/cat has any special needs.
