I am a very kind and loving person and I love animals! I've had a cat since I was a baby and have been around dogs my whole life. I just got a dog of my own this year and I love having her around! I have been training her, giving her baths, taking her on walks everyday, and of course feeding her and spoiling her just a little!

I have 5 years of experience. I can help with Pet Transportation and Pet Sitting. Usually I dog sit for families that go on vacations about a week at a time, so I'm very used to staying over if need be. I have my own dog at home that we got a year and a half ago so I'm pretty experienced with helping train as well.
