I have pet sat many times for multiple families for 1-6 weeks at a time. I have had experience staying at the owner's home to care for the pet and also bringing the pet into my home. Some of my responsibilities included: walking, feeding, and taking out the pets, staying over night, and minor housekeeping duties.
