Given my severe allergy to cats, my experience caring for pets do not include those 4 legged furry friends. I have done a number of jobs where pet sitting/house sitting where done simultaneously; as well as walking dogs a few times a week, making sure they have enough food/water, and that all their waste is cleaned up.
