I grew up always having a dog as a pet and part of my family. I specialize in long pet sits that last for several weeks or more. I have been caring for animals all my life. In addition to walking, feeding, and playing I know how to give meds. For the past few years I have been pet sitting in exchange for a place to stay for vacation through another site. I have 5 star ratings on that site and can provide that information. I have a 7 year old, 10lb rescue chihuahua named Prince. Sometimes he comes with me on house sits and sometimes he stays with my parents if preferred. He stays to himself but he does not have to come with me.
