I'm an animal lover at heart. I'm willing to work with dogs or cats! If I am close to your area then I would be a great pick because I'll always be right around the corner if you need a last minute person to stop in to care for your animals. I'm willing to meet before hand to meet you and your pets before the sitting.

Alexis V. says "Went through a lot of pet sitters and happy to finally found a great one! She is communicative and my fur babies never seem stressed out when I return."
