Cat sitting helps me with my__9__anxiety disorder, too. I want to be around people, but sometimes I can’t. Sometimes, this anxiety even__10__me from leaving the house. But since becoming a cat sitter my mental health has__11__. Having my own__12__gives me the power to plan my day. I can recharge when I need to and can go out and meet people when I want.
