For as long as I remember, I have been a lover of animals. I have experience caring for pet sitting for friends with dogs and cats. While at university I was a volunteer at an animal shelter where I also fostered cats. I personally have one cat, Kalani, who loves to play with fellow furry friends.
I look forward to meeting you...
