About: I’ve done pet sitting for family and friends since middle school and have thoroughly enjoyed every second! I also have a dog of my own who I have cared for and loved for the past 14 years. I am a senior in college with lots of free time to spend taking care of your pets! I have large gaps in my days between classes that I am available. I will listen to each and every of your request and needs when it comes to your pet! I will walk them and keep an eye on them with extreme care and keep them out of dangerous situations.
