Hello everyone, I posted this in the pet forum but I’m hoping more people see it here. I just moved in and I’ll be traveling for a couple of days every other week for work. I’m looking for someone who might be interested in watching my girls while I’m gone. Shoot me a message and we can work out the details. Thanks!
