I grew up around animals, and would love a dog or cat of my own!! With apartment living at the moment, I'm not eligible for a pet. I love watching and caring for others' animals, as it's the closest thing I can get to having my own:)

Hi I'm very socially awkward so I'll try my best at writing about myself. I have two cats that I love and spoil like they're my real children. I worked in a doggy daycare/boarding facility for a year and a half before switching to pet sitting independently for 2 years now.

Availability is negotiable, since time frames are often...
