I can help with pet sitting of cats or dogs or dog walking! My family has had dogs since I was 7 years old and we had cats as well. Comfortable with any dog breed, big or small.
I grew up with 4 dogs. Since then I have been a foster parent for a total of 15 dogs, most of which were puppies. I fed, walked, and trained them.

I basically grew up in a farm (with dogs, cats, chickens, reptiles, parrots, hamsters, rabbits... you name it!)
So not a real farm, but in a family who are complete animal lovers. :)
I live with three dogs and a bird. Comfortable caring for any animals.
