My family has always had pets, so I've grown up knowing and loving animals. I currently have two dogs, one cat, and one hamster. Previously I've had fish and a hermit crab as well. I started taking care of other peoples' pets at the age of 12 with dog walking. Within the past about four years I have taken on actual pet sitting as well. One time my sister and I pet sat for a family that owned 26 animals! They had birds, dogs, cats, hamsters, ferrets, and even sugar gliders. I enjoy meeting new animals and seeing all the different pet personalities.
