Hi I have had pets (Cocker Spaniel) in my childhood, as well as for 5 1/2 years as an adult (Maltese Cross Dog) which was a rescue dog who passed away prematurely. Most recently, my wife and I have had a dog (Pomeranian) and a cat (Burmese) for the last 11 years. I have not pet sat before, but am very comfortable in that role, given my extensive experience as an owner, and love dogs and cats.
