About: I've owned dogs and cats since I was 12. I was once a part-time sitter for Sit-A-Pet, when I lived in the DC metro area. I've raised two puppies who were high energy. I tended to them during senior years, and nursed them thru some serious health issues. Currently, I take care of two barn cats. I have a flexible schedule. I am currently working only part-time for myself, so this gives me the opportunity to provide personal care for your pets. I will care for your pets as if they're my own and give them the attention they deserve. I'll take all necessary safety precautions while tending to pets and when entering and exiting a client's home.
