A good time for pets

Pet care experience

**Taking some bookings however I do have limited availability** I grew up adopting all of the stay animals in the neighborhood, much to my parents dismay. I don't currently have any pets of my own, but I love meeting new furry friends. I have been a pet sitter for friends, family, coworkers for 7 years.. I am comfortable walking dogs, checking in on cats, and other animals. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I am open to dropping in for potty/ play breaks or pet sitting for the weekend at your place. Rates are generally hourly. Pet sitting would be a a set fee based on days and number of animals. ** I can sometimes accommodate next day or same day requests. Depends on scheduling. Please reach out! No guarantee but I will try! **
