I provide dog or cat sitting (or both) in your own home. My only experience with animals has been while working as a baby sitter with families who owned pets. I walked the dogs as many times as necessary, and in some occasions helped care for animals who were either sick or had gotten surgery and needed temporary assistance.

I have had two dogs at one time all of my life. I can walk them or babysit them. I can even train them to do a few easy tricks like sit, rollover, come, and stay. Or I can train them not to relieve themselves in the house (but that would take 3 months).
