I'm an experienced pet sitter who has previously dog sat in home for a family for weeks at a time. I have my own family dogs and love all doggos. I am experienced in other animal care as well, from birds/fish/horses onward. Trustworthy and reliable to ensure your pets are cared for and loved on while you're away.
I have been on the board of a local animal rescue for the past few years. I have a lot of experience caring for animals. I have fostered and adopted out over 100 cats and kittens. I currently have two dogs of my own who are both small breeds. Animals are like family. Hope to hear from you soon!
Happy to help care for your fur babies while your away.
I have a cat of my own and often look after my families dog while they are away from home.
I provide the basics of food, water, pet clean up and of course lots of pets and love while mom and dad are away.
