I am currently 32 years old and work overseas. So when I am at home I have a very open and flexible schedule to accommodate your and your pet's needs whenever the time might arise. I grew up with many dogs and cats so taking care of them and being attentive to their needs is second nature. From the age of 6 to 19 my family had a couple dogs and cats. So years of experience feeding, walking, and playing with is already covered. If you allow your pets on the furniture I will adjust to make my environment conducive to them. Being a United States Postal Worker delivering mail introduced me to lots of friendly and some not so friendly dogs but after a couple minutes they usually came around and just wanted to be pet.
