I do pet sitting sometimes when my boss goes away somewhere; they have a little dog whom I bring to my home for a week or weekend. I feed him, walk to the park, my family and I feel very happy with the dog Tex, because we know that are good companions and help lower stress.

I don't have much paid experience as an animal sitter, however, I adore animals! All kinds, from reptiles to arachnids, to birds and mammals. I'm comfortable with many at a time and will make sure to give your pet the attention it requires. I have two small dogs of my own but I actually do prefer bigger dogs.

I love animals of all kinds, especially dogs. I always found it difficult to put my animals in a shelter when I went away, and found that the best thing to give them is one-on-one care from an individual, that's why I started pet sitting.
