I have a lot of experience petsitting, sometimes housesitting for weeks at a time. I come from a long line of animal rescuers. I rescued my first dog on the side of a road when I was in high school and she's still with us living at my parents' house in NY :) My boyfriend and I are planning to start a sanctuary for factory farm animals. When I watch a dog, I truly treat he/she like my own. They will get a LOT of love and attention at all times and they’re welcome to sleep in the bed unless you’d rather they don’t. My availability is flexible. We have a large fenced in yard, but I'm also available to house sit. I live in 29 Palms, but have no problem traveling to the Palm Springs area. I also love LA and will travel there for the right price (if you need house sitting for a long weekend, etc) Almost all my pets have needed medication at some point so I have experience with that. I fully understand the responsibility of having a dog- especially a puppy- and I want to help those with jobs or other obligations to go about their day without worrying that their pet isn't getting enough attention :)
