Whether it's a short overnight trip to a week-long stay, I'm typically an over-packer, which has turned me into a master packer and organizer.I'm also currently a cat mom with two rambunctious 2yo cats, Misty and Milo. They were a bonded brother-sister pair that I adopted in Seattle and brought with me to New York, so they also have a bit of travel experience under their belts. I've always had pets (cats, dogs, and fish) growing up, help take care of neighbors' and friends' pets, and also worked as a Rover dog walker/babysitter throughout college.
