Growing up I never had my own pets but still grew up surrounded by them through my friends and relatives. They became as close to me as to their owners, and that bond certainly helped me start pet/house sitting to help others out when they can't be there for their pets. I've been pet-sitting for 6 years now, I care for someone else's pet as if they were my own. This goes for house sitting as well, be assured that you'll find your house in the same state in which you left it. I'm a college student with a part-time job, and I understand how busy life can get. Whether you're looking for someone to help out while you're doing work from home, at the office, or traveling you can be sure your pet and home are in good caring hands while you're away. I will disclose that I am allergic to both cats and dogs, pretty certain it's due to not growing up in a household with pets but this has never been an issue while on the job. I have allergy medicine and manage it so it doesn't disturb my time with your pets.
