About: I’ve been surrounded by animals all my life from my own pets to pets of friends and family, which includes being responsible for them from time to time. I’ve even had prior experience staying overnight and caring for animals that include dogs, cats, and chickens. I am a full time student in law school so my schedule depends on my classes and my school obligations for the week. However, I try hard to manage all bookings I get if the owners are willing to be flexible with times! I can care for your pet by walking them, playing with them, feeding them, hugging them, grooming them, and even staying with them overnight if that makes them more comfortable while you are away.
