I have been pet-sitting since I was 17 years old. Any pet, any size I am good with. I love animals. I will stay in the house with the pet(s) due to distance and/or if the pet(s) are better with that and if the owners are good with that as well. If not, I am willing to travel back and forth no matter how far or how often.
