I grew up with a cat who loved to play hide-and-seek-tag and came when he was called. He would "help" me with my homework and steal my pillow at night, and I absolutely adored him. For about ten years, I was disabled by chronic illness. During that time, I began petsitting regularly. Since 2016, I've watched cats, dogs, fish, chickens, parakeets, bunnies, and plants. Mostly by word of mouth. With my gentler pace, I am a good fit for older animals and critters. I am not a good fit for very young kittens and puppies, although they are super cute! I believe that all animals should be treated like family, and that curiosity, play, and companionship are as important as physical exercise. I try to provide all of the above. :)
