My daughters, ages 17 & 14, and I would love to take care of your pet when you are away! Including walks, play time, and cuddles. We have a small dog of our own that is very friendly and can easily be put into a different part of the house while we care for your pet. I currently work from the home and am available all day for your pets needs. We have a small crate but would need you to bring a larger crate if you prefer they are crated during specific times of the day. I have a large fenced in back yard with a pool. If your pet doesn't like the water, we will stay outside with your pet while they relieve themselves or bask in the sun. We have a grassed area just for our small pet. We also have an enclosed courtyard if you prefer they aren't out back by the pool.
