Hello! I have worked with pets my entire life (I originally thought about pursuing a career in veterinary sciences). I grew up with a cat and a dog. In school I often worked as a dog and cat-sitter for local animals ranging from new puppies to 15 year old elderly pets. When I lived in New York In Chicago I was a frequent cat-sitter for a few families, even doing long-term sits. I currently own one short-haired dog and am a non-smoker. I love all animals and would be delighted to be your pet-sitter!
