As someone raised on a farm I have plenty of experience with all sorts of animals. At 15, my neighbors started asking me to pet sit for them. As a pet sitter I've taken care of dogs, cats, chickens, pigs, and goats. I have a deep compassion for animals and will treat your pets like royalty. Flexible schedule and pay.

I am a caring and gentle animal lover. As a kid, I rescued several cats and dogs, and in more recent years I have fostered a number of kittens and cats. I currently have two cats of my own. I also enjoy caring for calmer dogs that don't jump up or yank on the leash as they walk. I'm dependable and easy to communicate with.
