Ive been caring for animals since before I was able to talk. Have had cats and dogs my whole life. My first real "job" was walking and feeding my neighbors dogs. Shortly thereafter word spread through the neighborhood that i was able and willing as a pet sitter. Very quickly i had a commitment every weekend for pet sitting and i enjoyed every minute of it. Ive owned dogs of all sizes but currently just have cats and watch my parents dogs when they are out of town. I work very close to my home and have the availability and flexibility to slide home for breaks and lunch. I'm home Friday through Sunday as well. I have a fenced in backyard with cameras monitoring the premises. I also have the ability to crate dogs in the garage if that is necessary for your animal.
