Animal Lover - Animal Walker, Sitter, Cuddler, Whatever You Need!
I have owned a cat for 6 years. I have cat and dog sat many times, which have included walks and overnight stays. I cannot accommodate boarding any animals because I own a cat myself and she doesn't get along with other animals.
I am an experienced pet sitter who offers short or long term pet care. I have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, chinchillas, chickens, and bearded dragons. I am comfortable with all animals and enjoy caring for them.
