I have grown up around cats and dogs all of my life. I have taken care of a dachshund, and currently own a shih tzu. I love taking my dog on a walk and running around with her. Right now I dorm at SUNY Old Westbury so I am unable to play with any pets which makes me unhappy.

I would provide dog or cat sitting in your home. I was a devoted cat mom for four years until recent, and am hoping to spread the love and care I had for mine, to yours. In the past, I have cared for friends' pets when they went away. Will change litter/food bowls, go for walks, play outside, or just provide some company.
