Dog, cat, bird, rabbit, guinea pig & farm animal sitting in home. Dog walks in winter are available. I grew up with German Shepherds and Siamese cats. I love when dogs give snuggles and cats are vocal! As a pet owner, I want to know my rabbit is taken care of and loved when I am on vacation, so that's the care I give.
