I am a 29-year-old for a few years now-woman.

 I am a papillon breeder who currently owns or co-owns 5 dogs, of course, they don't all live with me.

 I also own 2 wonderful cats who are very tolerant of dogs both having grown up with them.

 I live in a townhouse I share with another animal lover and so we take care of each other animals if we go away.

The house has a fully fenced back yard.

 I understand what it feels like to leave your animals and go and you want only the best care for them.

 You feel like you are abandoning them and you want to have someone who will take the time to give them love like you would when you are not there.

 It is that love of animals that causes me to enjoy the job of pet sitter so much.

 Whether it is sitting with a cat in his home, on the floor so he feels comfortable to come close to get the pets or at my house with a dog who makes herself right at home.

 To see a pet feel comfortable and happy despite Mom and Dad being gone makes me happy.

 Of course, they are always excited when Mom or Dad gets home but if I helped make that time away, a little easier then I've done my job.
