I will provide pet sitting in your home. I love cats (and small/med sized dogs only) especially if they like to cuddle. I have had cats and dogs to care for most of my life. I have no problem scooping litter boxes, changing food dishes, etc. and can do light grooming if needed. I do not do overnight care though.
