13. Casey M.
About: Hi! I'm Casey, a recent law grad in VA. I absolutely love dogs, and as an owner myself, I understand how tricky it can be managing enough time for your pup with your busy schedule. I'd love to help out, and give your fur friend the love, care, and exercise they deserve. I'm happy to help however I can, so if you need something other than just a general walk, please feel free to reach out. I'm happy to take pets to appointments, give medication, jogs, or anything you need. I hope to ease your mind when it comes to leaving your pet, and promise to give them the absolute best level of care and love. Looking forward to working with you! I am currently studying for the Bar, with availability throughout the week. As a pet owner myself, time for my doggo is a huge part of my schedule. My apartment building offers a fenced in dog park and open yard available for pets. We also have a pet spa. I am happy to crate your dog, if one is provided. Otherwise, they will have access to my full space, with ample play room, water, and love!
