i have both had pets as children, we also have 2-3 years experience with a young puppy that one of our parents owns. i'm really keen to help out with sitting a pet, i'm considering get our own dog/cat in the future so thought this was a good place to start. We also regularly walk a dog for a nearby friend, and have looked after her for a weekend on occasion when they are away. i both have full time jobs, but there can be at least one of us at home every day of the week. i'm also more than happy to take pets over the weekend.
