I grew up with many dogs and have a 6 year dog of my own. I love all animals and enjoy spending time with them. I have been pet-sitting for 9 years and am well versed in pet care of all kinds, including dogs, reptiles, birds, and some farm animals. I have a work from home day job that allows more flexibility than most jobs, so I am able to accommodate pet-care very easily into my scheduled days. I take the full amount of time allotted to each stay and do as much as I can for the pet. I love taking them on long walks when wanted, playing inside or outside, and of course I make sure all water is new and that the pet is fed accordingly while there. Lots of love and cuddles too, of course.
