Absolutely love dogs and cats and have 2 small children who also love animals and are always keen for us to pet sit for people so they can enjoy the benefit of pets. We currently travel a lot to see family abroad so can't have our own pets yet. I grew up with dogs and cats and am very experienced with all kinds of animals, and we love walking and giving animals a great deal of love and affection. Your animals would need to be happy with small children.
