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.
