I have grown up with large dogs and cats at home. We had an Alaskan malamute, 2 labs, and a golden retriever. I now have a very chill and loving orange kitty in my apartment. Over the years, I have watched the pets of friends and family members. I have watched up to 4 dogs and 2 cats at a time. I am comfortable giving medication, walking, and playing with them. Having the opportunity to play with cats and dogs helps me as much as it helps you and them! It helps relieve my anxiety and is a big de stress for me. If I could own more dogs and cats I would! But for now, I am happy to watch, play, and love others!
