I am new to the area and work in tech and real estate. I found out about these services through my daughter. My wife and I have five kids (grown), we love animals, and have had a number of pets/animals throughout our lives - cats, dogs, fish, birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, lizards, frogs, turtles... My schedule is super-flexible, so I can walk dogs/cats, pet sit, drop-ins, etc. I'm busy, but in the car a lot and I don't mind driving further out - I don't want to do a long distance back and forth, but I don't mind the distance and hanging out for a while; I can work from anywhere. If you want a mature and professional person rather than a kid, then look no further.
