Hi! I'd like to offer pet sitting. I have been surrounded by pets my whole life and love them to pieces! At one point we had 4 different animals in the house. I am confident in my abilities to look after all kinds of animals and keep them safe and happy :) Currently, I have a cat and a hamster that I love to pieces.

I have experience with walking two medium-large dogs at the same time so I know how to handle dogs that might be a bit enthusiastic. I love dogs & I’ve been described as confident around animals. I’d love to meet your pup & help you out by taking him/her on a walk :) I’d just ask that your dog isn’t aggressive around people. I also have experience walking/interacting with more shy/anxious dogs as one of my labs is very nervous around other dogs & people.

I am able to keep your pet company, whether this is a drop-in or a different kind of stay. I love lots of animals, and I am very responsible. I have had 2 guinea pigs and a hamster in the past. (I still have 1 guinea pig).
