Hello! I have experience walking dogs, feeding animals and pet sitting. I own cats, so I am all about being calm, giving gentle pets and playing with string. My experience with dogs is feeding, cleaning up after and walking well mannered furry babies. I like throwing a ball for them to bring back or going on a long walk.

I'm an animal lover at heart. I'm willing to work with dogs or cats!
