I am an animal lover, living in the countryside, well experienced with dogs and cats, from newborned til old, but also with horses. My 17 year old daughter, who may join me for housesits, is amazing with all dogs, cats, horses and even cows. We have two big dogs and three cats, who my daughter's father care for while we are away. I am a responsible non-smoker and live a quiet life. When I housesit, I will spend most of my time with the animals I care for and NEVER leave a dog for more than 5 hours per 24 hours, but that long would be an exception. You can feel absolutely confident that your furry family members are in good hands with me.
