I prefer to care for your cat, but will care for a small dog. I have 3 cats. One is special needs/nearly blind. I can also care for a parrot, I had one for many years. I am a big animal lover but I would prefer drop in care in your home in Kingsburg, CA, or nearby. I work for Dept of Social Services as my day job. Availability is mostly evenings and weekends. I have been working from home, so I have minimal exposure to other people/germs. If you can provide a crate for your small dog I am willing to watch him/her in my home. My Cats would be unimpressed I'm sure but I'd like to get a small dog at some point and this would be a good way to introduce them. I also have experience taking pets to the ER vet so I know the signs of an emergency.
