I am going on vacation from the 3rd of July through the 9th when my mom would pick them both up. My dog Millie is almost 8 years old. She is very friendly and most of the time she's very relaxed and sleeping on the couch. Sage is my cat and he just turned 6 months old so he's still a kitten. He is very sweet but has loads of energy. The most important thing to me is that the sitter is home for the Fourth of July. Mille is very afraid of loud noises like fireworks and I want the sitter to stay home with her to make sure she's okay and she's comforted.
