Nice to meet you, I'm Jacqueline and love animals like you. I used to take care of dogs when I lived in Italy, this is how I made my living for a while before I published my book on Rome. I had animals my entire life: birds, dogs, gerbils/hamsters, fish, rabbits, and cats. Your pet will be fully loved as if it were you watching them. It's actually my pleasure. I have a section of the yard that is fenced in a yard so they can stay outside if and when they wish. And I am home all the time so they will always have company. I've never been without animals, they become my best friends and I could never see live without them. :)
