I have about 2 years experience pet sitting for a nice family with 3 dogs who needed care part-time. I enjoyed taking them on frequent walks, playing with them in the back yard, as well as making sure they are well fed and get lots of love :) I love animals, and I am more than willing to help with anything your pets may need.
