For dogs, I will provide care based off your instructions, for example if you don't want your dogs out on long walks but will let them run in a fenced backyard I will do just that. Do not worry about my lack of skills due to not owning dogs, as I have been sitting friends' and family dogs for years. I will also send plenty of updates and pictures if you are missing your furry friends! For cats, as a fellow cat owner, I know a lot about their behaviors and needs. However, I understand that all owners have different care routines and I will not stray from yours. In my own home I feed my cats twice a day and they get small snacks in-between, I also try and brush them everyday to limit hairballs and play when they want to play. I clean their litter boxes everynight. And again, I am more than willing to send updates and photos! For small animals and birds. Surprise! I can care for your small animals and birds too. I have owned parakeets in the past as well and my sibling has guinea pig, that I know how to mildly care for. I will once again follow your care routine to a T, to ensure that your animal will have the best care while you are away. And just like cats and dogs, I am always willing to provide updates and photos.
