I had 6 dogs and 4 cats altogether. I am a dog-cat person and an animal lover since I had my first puppy in 1995. I have all kinds of experience in last 26 years. I love them as my children and I care for them a lot. I would like staying at night and morning too instead of going home and coming back at noon. So staying night and extended stay instead of drop in visit midday. I may go out for 4-5 hours & come back. Continuous stay is best for me (and also for pets) when I will read my books for myself or watch tv or use net. I understand how pets are feelng, if they need anything or if they are uncomfortable for any reason/s. Your dogs/cats would feel very comfortable with me like this is a person they already knew. I am aware of their need to go outside as I take mine to backyard often. I play with them often so they don't feel bored without u. I will also soothe them & talk to them because they will feel your absence. I will put alarms if they need medicine. I can water your houseplants & get mail. If your pet feels comfortable I can sleep with them at night or near them. I will send pics often of your pets & text u about how they are doing during my visit. U will feel good knowing someone is with them taking very good care & giving costant company. I am a stay home person or a homemaker. I have all the time in the world. My husband goes office Mondays, othe days work from home & can take care of our own pets. Mostly I am free all time unless I myself have an appointment or go to vacation. I can stay longer at your place & we can talk about it in detail while we meet. I can only sit dogs in a house with fenced backyard and not in apartments. However for cats this does not apply. Thank you all.
