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.

I have a cat and a dog, so I am used to taking care of animals and knowing what they need. I also house sit during the summer when I am back in my home town and care for different kinds of animals and houses. I love dogs and cats and would love to take care of yours since I have an apartment and can't have any of my own.
