Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.

How did you get started in this business?
My adorable doggie died in my arms a year & a half ago.
Rather than cursing the darkness, I decided to lite a candle and dog sit.
What types of customers have you worked with?
All types.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
My last customer, hired me when their live-in full time housekeeper had to join her Aunt for three days North of Orlando.
Roxie, (a rescue from the shelter), and Piper (a Goldendoodle), we're invited into my bed in the guest room shortly after I arrived. They wanted to be petted, of course, so I just layer down beside them. They napped. I took a pic or two & sent to the absent parent.
