Pets are family members! I am a "Grandmother" to three dogs and two cats, and have had dogs and cats of my own many times. Pets generally take an instant liking to me, dogs greeting me with wiggles and waggles when I walk in the door. I am available to walk your dog, or visit and play, or just cuddle with them while you're away, up to twice a day. I also provide care for cats. I can stay overnight occasionally if you need it. I have experience caring for pets for my family and friends when they are away and need walking/feeding/cuddling/adventuring, and fun. And like most any grandma would say, it's nice that you get them back at the end of the day! :)
