Availability

I am a recent college graduate currently looking for full time work. I was born and raised in Virginia Beach, and absolutely love helping animals! It's something I have been compelled to my entire life. As I pursue the next chapter of my life and determine exactly what I want to do next, I would love to be there for you and your pup! I am currently available Monday through Sunday most weeks, other than a few upcoming travel dates.

Safety, trust & environment

I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from overnight or daily dog-sitting, to typical feeding & walking routines. I'm used to a fenced in yard when letting dogs out to go to the bathroom, but I also have experience taking outside on the leash in apartment complexes, condos, and other living areas. I'm well versed in feeding dogs, and the many different applications owners use. I can ensure paws are wiped clean if need be. One of my pups is an eczema girl, so I can apply creams or moisturizing sticks to sensitive areas and paw pads also - if needed! I have some dog training experience (and will be working to gain more), so I can help enforce specific rules or training tactics that have already been introduced to your pup, in order to help form the habit! With my medical background, I can administer medication. I am comfortable taking dogs for a walk at the beach, the state park, nearby parks/neighborhoods - wherever you feel that your dog will be most comfortable & confident! Inquire directly for additional fees if traveling for a walk is considered.

Information Abby V. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time: -Your dog's typical routine at time of the booking -Any special key words to communicate (bathroom cues, walking, playing fetch, etc.) -Any special needs or preferences (such as feeding times, walk specifications, or medications) -Any important behavioral information (such as if your dog is social, friendly to other dogs/humans, has any specific triggers to cause a reaction, etc.) Please also provide your personal information incase of an emergency or if I need to reach you at the time of the booking. Thank you so much - can't wait to help you and your pup soon!

A typical day

I am really open to anything! I would love to travel on certain visits for a fun walk destination. It can also be as easy as playing fetch in the yard, going to a dog park if available, playing indoor puzzle games, giving love & cuddles, tug of war, and any other mental or physical enrichment that your pup might love! Always open for suggestions :)

Pet care experience

I have loved & cared for animals my entire life! I have always had dogs myself, including high energy pups. With a Bachelor of Science in Biology, I have experience in fields such as animal behavior, veterinary medical terminiology. Overall, my background provides me with knowledge in preventative healthcare practices, as well as compassion & love towards animals for as long as I can remember. From new born puppies to elderly doggies, I love to help with them all! I can administer medication and feed meals if necessary too. Would love to help you and your pup soon :)
