Have been taking more and more pet sitting jobs lately. I want to see what all is out there to maybe turn the gigs into a more stable career. I've mostly sat for dogs but open to whatever you might have. Growing up I always had a house full of cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, and bearded dragons.

I dog sat in my home for quite awhile for many different dogs, but because of my boy dog, the dogs ended up marking each others territories and even inside our house. So now I just do walking, sitting, letting them out during the day, etc. I also go and check In on cats and clean their litter boxes and feed them.
