I have always had a pet in my home. I grew up with cats and still have one now. A 9 year old half bengal. My dog experience started about 10 years ago with our first dog. Currently we have two goldendoodles, both are black which usually confuses people! I am very confident with both cats and dogs. Puppies and kittens are fine too. I also have plenty of experience looking after chickens, ducks and a few sheep! Having had both cats & dogs I understand the different needs they have at varying ages. I'm happy to take for walks or play in the house, give plenty of cuddles -whatever your pet is used to that will make the visit as least stressful as possible. I would treat them as I would like mine to be treated should they need a sitter. I am a stay at home mum so pet sitting/dog walking fits in well with my day to day routine.
