I've taken care of my own animals (cats and dogs) for the last 15+ years. I love being around animals sometimes more than people! I am able to take your dogs for walks, care for your cats when you are out of town. I have two dogs of my own so for boarding our dogs must get along well. I work from home 90% of the time so it's easy for me to fit pet care into my schedule. My own dogs get a few walks per day, plus playtime in the yard. I will care for yours as if they were my own. I have a fenced in yard. When I'm walking dogs, I'll keep them on leash unless you specify otherwise and I feel confident with your dog. When caring for cats, I'll always play with them a little if they enjoy that before/after feeding time - as well as change the litter box.
