I've been an educator for the past 15 years and have dealt with all types of teenagers. Teaching has taught me how to be more responsible, patient, and caring. All those characteristics make me a trustworthy candidate to watch your pets--along with the added bonus that animals cannot talk back. Growing up I helped take care of our family Bichon Frise, Eevee. My brother named her after a Pokemon. Then, into my adult life, Rosco, my husband's lab became a son to me. Rosco has since passed on, but our two cats, Tiger & Smokey remain as our spoiled "children" with several cat trees in our living room. Bottom line: I give my all in anything I set my mind to--pet sitting included! Your pets will have my undivided attention!!! Thanks!!
