Responsible, trustworthy mom and dad team are willing to take care of your pets while you are away. We are animal lovers at heart. I (Kristen) have had a dog (or more) for almost my whole life. I have a husband, three kids, three dogs, two cats, two birds, two snakes, and a lizard. Two of the dogs are shelter mutts and the other was given to us. We love them dearly. Nate has had dogs and cats almost his whole life also. He had a Siberian Husky and a cat when he was growing up. He introduced us to the world of reptiles by bringing a snake and a uromastyx with him when we moved in together. Between the 5 of us, we have owned gerbils, hamsters, anoles, snakes, a uromastyx, hermit crabs, fish, cats, birds, dogs, and even a chameleon. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover for my whole life. I got my first dog, Daisy, when I was 5 years old. She was a German Shepherd, and she lived until I was in high school. She was my only dog for a short while. In high school, my family adopted a Yorkshire Terrier, and I've owned three of them. I prefer big dogs like Shepherds, Danes, and Labs, but the smaller ones are pretty cool too. My experience administering medication Yes - to cats and dogs.
