I have experience sitting and caring for cats and dogs. I ensure the fur babies are fed, hydrated, played with, given lots of attention, and walked. I have always had dogs of my own, so they have a special place in my heart. I have minimal experience with cats but I have cared for them, as well.

I currently have a rabbit as a pet but growing up I had seven dogs! I have taken care of my aunt and uncles' dogs every summer as they went on vacation. I also fed my neighbor's cat on a daily basis for a few months. I love to take care of animals as I was exposed to gentle care and situational awareness at a young age.
