I've been animal and house - sitting for neighbors, friends and other people via word of mouth for ten years now. I've animal sat for a wide range of animals (including chickens, rabbits and a hawk); and have house-sat homes with pools. I'm a recent college graduate from Penn State University with a Liberal Arts BA. I work various part-time jobs, and I'm babysitting and dog sitting while looking for something more consistent. I have quite a few references available.
