When asked, "are you a dog person or a cat person?" My answer is always: yes. As in, why do we have to choose? I would love to help keep your furry friends happy, active and socialized. Whether it's going for an active and smell-rich walk or just sitting quietly to bring comfort to a shy companion.
What do I bring to caring for...
I'm comfortable with all types of cats and dogs! I'm able to watch, clean, walk, and feed your dog/cat. I have family members with many dogs and cats, and I have a cat myself as well.
