I've been an animal lover my entire life and grew up with indoor and outdoor pets. I feel like dogs should get plenty of attention, love and support even when their human companions are away. I've been regularly house/cat sitting for 5 of my massage clients for years. They continue to express happiness and gratitude at being able to leave their home and pets in familiar, trustworthy company, and I am always pleased and grateful to be an addition to their household and have some furry, fun companions! When I was a child my grandparents had a farm, so I had lots of cats and dogs around to play with and keep me company. I had a kitty friend until she passed away a year ago so it's very nice spending time with other animal companions.
