I'm a photographer and artist who loves the outdoors. I travel for work and so cannot have my own pet so let me pour my love and affection onto your animals! Previously, I owned a chocolate lab and oversaw 2 litters of puppies over the course of 10 years. I trained her all the way from potty-training to our favorite showing off trick of "Bang, Bang!" and she'd fall to the floor and groan. I'd be happy to water plants, collect mail and generally oversee the upkeep of your home while you're away. For housesits that require longer travel times or are longer than one night, I usually request my studio manager come as well. He was a general contractor for 30 years in California before joining my studio. He's in his 60's with excellent references. This allows us to work from the assignment granted your home has internet. He also is great with all animals. They tend to sit at his feet like they know something we don't!
