I've loved all kinds of animals since I was a kid: not just dogs and cats, but lizards, birds, horses. Although I don't have experience pet-sitting those last few, I've sat for friends' and neighbors dogs throughout college as well as cats of family friends. I currently live with my two own kitties and grew up with a dog who is now back on the east coast with my parents. I pay close attention to the body language and moods of animals and will always strive to make sure your dog/cat is cared for, understood, and receiving all the attention they need! I currently work full-time but work from home, so I have the flexibility to be at other places during the week and take breaks every two hours to play with pets, check on their water and food, take them for walks, etc. I've sat in apartments and homes before, so I am very adaptable to instructions to work with what you have – whether that's a crate, a fenced yard, a microchip feeder, etc.
