My family has had a dog since I was 14, and I have been professionally pet-sitting since 19. I would pet-sit during my college breaks (winter, spring, summer). I prefer to watch cats and dogs, as I love to interact with the pets, but I am also able to care for fish, since I had a pet fish for a few years.
