My family had a pet store for 2 years. I cared for all the animals, from cats and dogs to fish and reptiles. I was also a breeder of Persian cats for a number of years. I have over 45yrs of pet care experience including pet sitting for a number of my house management clients.
I have had dogs and cats of my own and I am excellent at following instructions and showing kindness and love to animals. I will provide dog or cat sitting in your home.
