I have lived with cats and dogs almost my entire life, within family and living on my own. I have also taken cared of horses for over 8 years back when I used to ride and take lessons. I'd usually help clean out stables and groom/feed the horses in the stable. I consider animals like family. To me, they really are no different than kids...except for the fact that they have fur, walk on four legs and course never talk back :) I have done petsitting in the past for neighbors and friends and thought this would be a better way to branch out. I am great with following instructions, organized and very clean so any kind of request, whether it be daily grooming, cleaning fur off furniture or picking up after your pet, would not be an issue for me.
