Pet sitting has been apart of my life for many years, as well as taking care of my own animals (a cat & dog).
I have had animals in my life since I was born. I have owned (and had the primary responsibility of taking care of) dogs, cats, rabbits, rats, fish, turtles, sheep, goats, chickens, and even pigs. I love animals and I understand the responsibility of taking care of them.

I love animals and have been around them for my entire life. During my junior year of high school, I had an internship at a veterinary clinic, where I learned how to handle, perform basic tests for, and give medication to animals. I have a lot of experience with dogs and cats, but I'm good with birds and lizards too.
