For example, I pet sit for a house of 5 dogs, cats and chickens. I will always take your dogs for walks, ensure they are well groomed and fed and loved in their time with me. I am a crazy cat lady who loves to look after cats. Whilst I was travelling I regularly volunteered at animal shelters to help look after animals. I have now also completed a pet first aid and CPR training course. I am currently at home, searching for a remote working job to do from home. Any animals I look after will always be my top priority. I have a fenced and gated garden for the animals to roam in, with a porch front door for extra security. I have a lovely cat who is used to different dogs that I currently dog sit.
