I provide pet care in your own home. I grew up with tons of animals - three cats, one dog, two hamsters, one guinea pig, a snake, and multiple fish. In my opinion, the more the merrier. Growing up with so many animals in the house, it was my responsibility to take care of them, so I am well versed in pet care.
