I am an experienced babysitter and occasional dog/cat sitter. I have my own 6-year-old L that I love dearly. I have done multiple week long overnight pet sitting jobs, and I have always owned pets from fish, bunnies, to dogs and I love all animals.
I have a love of animals! Growing up, we had everything from hedgehogs to bunnies to dogs/ cats, and a little of everything else in between! I do have a small dog myself (Stevie, 1f), so I am unable to host animals at my home.
