Leah likes being an Animal Caretaker

I am a pet-sitter, so I look after animals in their own home. It requires a lot flexibility, accessibility, responsibility, and trust. It's not unusual to be caring for multiple households in a given period, which may require a lot of traveling back and forth, and to only work weekends and holidays. Also, clients are quite varied. I've had a client with 9 pets (including goats) whom I only needed to tend to 3x a day and another with 1 dog whom I had to walk 8x a day. Being dependable and on schedule is very important. If you enjoy pets, then it tends to feel like you're getting paid to play. I especially love the variety and companionship that goes along with this job.
