I've watched many animals for others since I was a little girl. Cleaning their mess, taking them on walks and loving them all up. I've rescued a lot of dogs from the pound who were going to be put down and I've found them lovely homes so that wouldn't happen. *Cats *Dogs *Reptiles * Birds *Water Animals
