Pet sitters in Des Moines, IA
I have sat for friends before as well as having cats and dogs of my own. I am a quiet kind person who takes a slow and easy approach to new animals who don't know me. I am especially adept with cats who tend to stand me even when they usually don't like people. I am warm compassionate and caring.
