I don't have professional experience in dog sitting, but I've had my own dog for 14 years, so I know how to take care of them. However, to be honest, I'm a little bit afraid of too big dogs. Also I can definitely take care of cats and hamsters. If you need me to look after another type of pet, we can discuss it.
