I have experience caring for dogs... from Cockapoo & American Eskimo up to Golden Retrievers and cats. I used to have a cat and have had 2 guinea pigs. I can happily bring in mail, newspapers, water plants, and usually pet/house sit should you require that or can visit daily; whichever suits your needs.
