Hello! I have a small goldendoodle, and a bird and kids! We love animals and would love to help with medium to small dogs that are house trained, or birds when people have a need! Its my daughters dream to start a pet sitting business, so we are open to other critters as well like other smaller animals.

Usually, I'm a professional nanny, but I have had to deal with several pets. Including taking care of pets when owners are out of town. I've taken care of dogs, cats and fish. I don't mind reptiles. Not a big fan of the birds though.
