Some kids started with babysitting or lemonade stands, for me it was pet-sitting. Growing up surrounded by pugs I've had my fair share of experience with special needs pups, senior dogs and challenging breeds. In fact, among friends I became known as *that* girl- you know, the one who requests pug calendars for Christmas and bakes her own dog treats. Now that I'm living in a small apartment, I've missed being able to go for long walks with a friendly dog. In addition to playing fetch and unlimited belly rubs for your pup, I also have extensive experience with cats. As the owner of a Persian cat, I'm equally skilled at all the brushing, eye wiping and treat dispensing needs your cat might need as well!
